An accident this morning involving
two taxis on the N1 near the R101 in Polokwane left a 5-year-old girl dead and
nine others injured.
It is believed that one of the taxis
was towing another when one of the drivers lost control which caused the
vehicles to roll multiple times.
ER24 Spokesperson Russel Meiring
said ER24 paramedics as well as other services arrived on the scene and found
the two taxis on the side of the road. It was evident that both taxis have
rolled multiple times.
Meiring said a lifeless body of a
5-year-old girl laid a few meters away from one of the vehicles and on
assessment paramedics already found that the patient has succumbed to her
severe injuries.
Meiring continues to say that nine
other patients were found on the scene with various injuries ranging from minor
to moderate. Paramedics assessed and treated the patients before transporting
them to near-by hospitals, including Polokwane hospital.
