Western Cape authorities are trying to
ascertain the cause of a crash after a scholar transport rolled off the road
between Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain on Wednesday.
ER 24's Ineke van Huyssteen said the learners
and two adults were injured - some seriously - when the Toyota Avanza they were
travelling in rolled over on Baden Powell Drive between the two townships.
van Huyssteen said the Avanza was found off the
roadway about 20m from where the patients were found.
According to the EMS’ Deanna February, the
children - aged between 10 and 12 - were being transported from three primary
