Cape Town – The vehicle of passengers seriously injured after being involved in a head-on-collision on Saturday was stripped by scrap metal scavengers while paramedics and police were at the scene.
City of Cape Town Traffic spokesman Richard Coleman said a taxi and car collided at 7.20am on Saturday.
“There were two serious injuries when a car and a taxi collided head-on in Swartklip Road (Mitchells Plain).
“The car burned out and half of the taxi was damaged in the fire.”
Photographer Leon Knipe, who was at the scene, said a group of people just emerged from the bushes at the side of the road and started pulling off wires and metal.
“They didn’t care that police or paramedics were at the scene and just started stripping the car.”
