“ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene and found the taxi lying on its side on the side of the road. Two people, a man and woman, were found walking around on the scene.”

Meiring states that on assessment, paramedics found that both patients had sustained minor to moderate injuries. “Fortunately, no serious or fatal injuries were reported on the scene. Paramedics treated the patients and thereafter transported them to a nearby hospital for further treatment.”
