12 Injured as minibus rolls and catches fire at Marianhill on the N3

12 People sustained minor to serious injuries when a suspected burst tire caused a mini-bus taxi to veer into the oncoming lane, roll off the embankment near the Mariannhill Toll Plaza on the N3, and catch fire. 

ER24 paramedics, Fire & Rescue, provincial services as well as other private services were on the scene at 8 am to find that all the passengers had managed to get out of the vehicle before it went up in flames. Patients received various treatments, including Advanced Life Support interventions before being transported to both R.K. Khan and St Mary’s hospitals for further care. 

The SAPS and Metro police were on scene for further investigation.
