An accident this morning at the Dickens and Trichardts Road intersection in Boksburg left one person dead and eight people injured when a taxi collided with a light motor vehicle. 

ER24 Spokesperson Russel Meiring said when they arrived on scene they found the intersection blocked by the two wrecked vehicles.

Paramedics discovered one man lying lifeless inside the taxi. Seven other occupants from the taxi as well as the driver from the light motor vehicle all sustained injuries ranging from minor to moderate.

Paramedics treated the patients and thereafter transported them to nearby hospitals for further medical treatment.  

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