Three people have been killed and seven others injured, including five children after a truck and taxi collided on the R59 between Sasolburg and Vereeniging.
Paramedics says when they arrived on scene, they found the taxi on its side on the side of the road while the truck was found parked a short distance away.
ER24’s Russel Meiring says authorities were on the scene for further investigations.
“On closer inspection, medics found one adult lying inside the taxi while several other people, including five children, were lying around the taxi.Medics assessed the patients and found that three adults had sustained fatal injuries. Nothing could be done for them, and they were declared dead. On the assessment of the other patients, it was found that two adults and five children had sustained minor to moderate injuries.”
Meiring says the patients were treated and thereafter transported to Sasolburg Provincial Hospital for further care.
