A woman died Thursday night and 14 other commuters were injured when the minibus taxi they were travelling in hit a wall at a high-speed along North Coast Road in Durban.
Emer-G-Med and ER24 responded to calls for help.
When they arrived at the scene of the crash at the intersection of Effingham Road they found absolute mayhem.
“A mini-bus taxi had veered off the roadway, smashing through a brick wall. Injured commuters were found clambering to safety and an on-scene triage area was established,” said Emer-G-Med.
“Three people were found to have life threatening injuries and advanced life support intervention was needed to stabilise them.”
All the injured were taken to hospitals.
