21 people were injured when a bakkie, believed to be carrying workers on their way home from work, overturned on Klipheuwel Road, near the N1, in Joostenbergvlakte.

Of the twenty one patients, one sustained serious injuries and the remaining twenty sustained minor to moderate injuries.

ER24 spokesperson Tristan Wadely says emergency service teams worked quickly to triage and treat the numerous patients that were scattered around the vehicle.

The patients were taken to various surrounding hospitals for further treatment.

It was unclear to paramedics on the scene as to what caused the vehicle to overturn.
