“Seven of the occupants, including four children (10 years old and younger), were found standing near the bridge. They were assessed and found with minor to moderate injuries. A woman was still trapped in the overturned vehicle. The Tlokwe fire fighters had to free her from the wreckage,” he said.
All the occupants were treated on the scene and later ferried to a nearby hospital.
