Netcare 911’s Nick Dollman said: “Paramedics attended to two adults and 22 children at the scene.”

Dollman says paramedics have now left the scene.

“The scene may not be cleared yet; one of the adults is in a very serious condition and the other is stable. Fortunately, all the children are in a stable condition.”

It’s the latest taxi accident involving children.

Last month, 18 pupils were killed in a major crash just outside Bronkhorstspruit.
