Twins Serious After Collision

Twelve people including one year old twins have been injured after a collision involving a light motor vehicle and a taxi at the corners of Prous and Bosman road in Pretoria this afternoon.

ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene to find the taxi with severe damage to the left hand side of the taxi. All the commuters were already out of the taxi by the time emergency personnel had arrived on the scene. Twin girls aged one had sustained possible head injuries and were in a serious condition. Advanced Life Support intervention had to be performed on the little baby’s. Their mother and father had sustained possible neck and back injuries and were stabilised on the scene by emergency personnel before all four were transported to hospital for further medical care.

The remaining patients were treated for various injuries on the scene and were stabilised on the scene by various emergency personnel on the scene before they were transported to various hospitals for further medical care.

It is unclear who was at fault but the necessary authorities were on the scene and would be investigating the accident. It is believed that the mother was seat in the front of the taxi with one of the baby unrestraint and the father was seat behind them with the second baby before the collision occurred.
