SEVEN people were injured after a head on collision this morning, (Wednesday, 1 April) on Road 1 in Chesterville just after 6.30.
Paramedics found that the two taxis had collided head on.

“Six passengers as well as one of the drivers were found lying on the side of the roadway. One driver sustained serious injuries and was stabilized on scene by Advanced Life Support paramedics,” said Rescue Care Paramedics operations director, Garrith Jamieson.

The injured were transported by Rescue Care to a nearby hospital. Jamieson said it is unclear what caused the collision at this stage.
