An accident this morning involving a bus left fifteen children injured on the Nekkies Road in Worcester.
It
is believed that the bus overturned after one of its tires burst. The exact
details to the cause of the accident will remain the subject of a police
investigation.
ER24
Spokesperson Russel Meiring said ER24 paramedics, along with other services,
arrived on scene and found a large bus lying on its side on the side of the
road. The occupants of the bus, being children, were standing around the
vehicle.
Meiring
said on inspection, paramedics discovered that 15 children, aged between 10 and
17, were found to have sustained injuries ranging from minor to moderate.
Fortunately no-one sustained any serious injuries.
Meiring
said Paramedics treated the patients for their injuries and thereafter
transported them to Worcester Hospital for further treatment.
Meiring
said it is understood that the bus overturned after one of its tires apparently
burst.
“Local
authorities were on scene for further investigations” Meiring added.
