JOHANNESBURG – Twenty-two children have been hurt in a taxi crash in Randburg.
It’s understood the taxi, carrying 24 people in total, collided with another vehicle on Thursday afternoon, then overturned and hit the wall of a house.
Paramedics say all the children have been stabilised, while one of the adults is in a serious condition.
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.
