The N2 came to a stand still this morning after a motor vehicle collision involving two minibus taxis leaving 20 people injured occurred just past the Vanguard turn off, direction Cape Town.
ER24’s Andre Visser said, “It was chaotic when paramedics arrived on the scene as there were approximately 20 people lying on the road.”
“One of the taxis was allegedly burning and passengers had to flee the vehicle in a hurry. Local fire and rescue services were already at the scene attending to the blaze.
Passengers in the small passenger vehicle had to be extracted from the vehicle and paramedics worked quickly and carefully to remove the passengers from the wreckage, “he said.
Visser said most of the people injured in the incident had minor injuries although there were a number of patients who had more serious injuries ranging from deep lacerations and fractured limbs.
The N2 freeway was closed to traffic and motorists was diverted to use the Vanguard Drive off ramp.
