About eleven people were seriously injured when a minibus taxi veered off the road and went down an embankment.

The accident occurred in Pinetown, Kwazulu Natal this morning.

No fatalities were reported.

ER 24 Spokesperson Christo Venter said when paramedics arrived at the scene they found all eleven patients lying down and they were treated at the scene before being transported to a nearby hospital for further care. 

Venter said the road had to be temporary closed but it has since been re-opened and the police are investigating the cause of the accident.
