Six injured in collision with cow
Poor visibility could have been contributed to the accident.
Six people were injured after a taxi collided with a cow along Inanda Road near the Molweni Taxi rank on Sunday, 26 October.
Rain and heavy mist made for very poor visibility which lead to the accident.
Netcare 911 and the provincial paramedics arrived at the scene and found that six people from the taxi had escaped with relatively minor injuries and were found at the side of the road. They were treated at the scene by paramedics before being transported to various hospitals in the area for the care that they required.
The cow however sustained very serious injuries and was humanely euthanized by the SPCA.
“Exact detail to the cause of the accident is speculative and will remain a subject for police investigation,” said Chris Botha, Coastel Media Liaison for Netcare Limited.
