The taxi overturned and came to rest on its side.
“One person a female believed to be in her forties was found to have sustained fatal injuries and there was nothing more paramedics could do for her and she was declared deceased on the scene,” said ALS Paramedics Medical Service.
“Twenty other passengers sustained injuries ranging from minor to serious and were stabilised on the scene before being transported to various Durban hospitals.”
