KwaZulu Natal (Redcliffe): Fifteen (15) people, including two minor children, were injured in a head-on collision on Oakford Road in Redcliffe – KZN on Friday.
A passerby contacted Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) at approximately 12:38 requesting assistance at the scene. Reaction Officers and RUSA Paramedics were immediately dispatched and, on arrival, established that a two-week-old baby and a one-month-old child were among the fifteen injured.
A white Toyota Hiace mini bus and a blue Chevrolet Aveo with extensive front-end damages were located on the scene. The injured were stabilised before being expedited to the hospital.
Residents seemed sad and praying for the family to recover well. One of the residents said, “I’m no longer complaining about taxi drivers’ behaviour because taxi commuters support them, saying they arrive faster at their destination, not concerning safety measures until accidents happen and they are involved.”
