An accident claimed the lives of two people and left twelve others injured at the corners of Constantia Road and Bower Road in Constantia.

ER24’s Tristan Wadeley said on arrival of paramedics, the minibus taxi was lying on its roof and the passengers were scattered around the crash site.

Two people were dead on their arrival and one patient was trapped upside down in the vehicle.

“The trapped patient was extricated by rescue crews using hydraulic rescue equipment.

“The patients were treated for minor to serious injuries and were transported to various surrounding hospitals for further medical care,” said Wadeley.

The circumstances around the crash are being investigated by police.
