Eleven people were injured after a Kombi and a bakkie carrying security guards collided with each other at the intersection of Townsend Road and Merriman Road in Goodwood this morning.

According to reports most of the guards were seated at the back of the bakkie when it overturned. The bakkie landed on its roof and came to rest against a tree further down the road.

Two guards were treated for moderate injuries and the remaining nine were treated for minor injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital for further treatment.

According to reports it is alleged that one of the vehicles jumped the four way stop at the intersection, which resulted in the accident.
