Two people have died and twelve others were injured in a taxi crash at the intersection of Constantia Road and Bower Road in Constantia.
ER24 spokesperson Tristan Wadeley says when paramedics arrived on the scene they found the minibus taxi lying on its roof and patients 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 the necessary authorities.

Well I bet I can tell you the cause of the crash - that intersection is an absolute joke and this has been an accident waiting to happen for a long time. It should be a mini-circle or a T-junction at the very least. Once again, it is the poorest people who pay for the City's incompetancy with their lives.
