An accident this morning involving two taxis in Johannesburg has left 21 people injured.

ER24 Spokesperson Russel Meiring says paramedics from the ER24 Johannesburg West branch arrived on the scene and found both taxis in the middle of the road.

Meiring added that the front of one of the taxis was badly damaged after it rear-ended the second taxi.

He emphasised that the occupants of the two taxis were found sitting on the embankment near the two vehicles. Paramedics assessed the patients and found that they had sustained only minor injuries in the collision.

“Fortunately no-one had sustained any serious injuries. Paramedics treated the patients and thereafter transported the patients to various hospitals for further treatment.” Meiring said.

The exact details to the cause of the accident will remain the subject of a police investigation.
