Ten children were left injured this morning when the taxi they were travelling in veered off an un-named road near the Mariannhill Cemetery in Mariannhill, KwaZulu Natal.
ER24 paramedics, along with other services, arrived on the scene to find a taxi some distance off the road down an embankment. Several children were found walking around on the scene.
Paramedics assessed the patients and found that ten children, aged between 5 and 7, had sustained only minor injuries. Fortunately, no serious injuries or fatalities were found on the scene.
The children were treated for their injuries and were thereafter transported by various services to nearby hospitals.
The local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.
