Taxi Accident Kills Two - 17 February 2010

Two people died and eleven others were injured when a Toyota Hi Ace taxi overturned on the N2, between Mew Way and R300, in the direction of Cape Town.

When emergency services arrived on the scene, they found the taxi lying on its roof up against the centre concrete barrier. It appeared as though some of the occupants of the vehicle were ejected when it overturned.

Two patients were dead on arrival of paramedics. Eleven others were treated for minor to moderate injuries before being taken to various surrounding hospitals for further treatment.

It is alleged that one of the taxi's tyres burst which caused it to overturn. Police will be investigating the incident.
