One person died and eleven school children were transported to hospital after a collision between a bus and a taxi on Koeberg Road, opposite Albow Gardens, in Brooklyn.

ER24 spokesperson Tristan Wadeley says the driver of the Kombi was dead on arrival of emergency services.

“Eleven children from the taxi were treated for minor to serious injuries but were all in a stable condition. They were transported to Milnerton Medi-Clinic and Life Vincent Pallotti Hospital for further medical care.

“The deceased driver of the taxi was extricated from the vehicle by rescue crews using hydraulic rescue equipment,” said Wadeley.

The details around the incident are being investigated by the police.
