According to a paramedic at the scene, Adrienne Wilson, some of the children sustained minor injuries and have been sent to hospital for further medical care. “The driver assisted in contacting the parents and we’ve transported a couple of kids,” said Wilson.
While details around the cause of the accident are still to be investigated, a parent, Neo Nkhumane, revealed that the driver blamed brake failure.
Nkumane said, while her son was okay, she was distressed when she received the phone call informing her of the accident.
“I was very scared. My first thought was: ‘Is he okay? Is he injured?’. I was very, very scared, but I’m glad to see that there are no physical injuries. I must just confirm that, internally, everything is fine,” said Nkhumane.
