15 people have been left seriously injured after a minibus taxi crashed through the boundary wall of a residential property on Zwartkop Road, Pietermaritzburg, on Saturday.
At around 10 am, Mi7 Emergency Medical Services was dispatched to the location after reports of the crash. They found that the driver of the taxi had allegedly lost control of the vehicle, causing it to veer off the road and into an adjacent property.
Fifteen of the sixteen passengers were left seriously injured, some requiring Advanced Life Support interventions. The driver and conductor were left unscathed.
Multiple service providers worked hand in hand to triage and treat the patients before they were taken to several hospitals for further care. Mi7 medics transported three patients in total, including a 16-year-old.
We wish all those injured a successful recovery.
