Paramedics have said that Two people died and 12 others were injured when a taxi and car collided on the R501, about 25km from Potchefstroom this morning. ER24 spokeswoman Chitra Bodasing said the taxi veered off the road and rolled into the veld as a result of this morning's collision, which killed two people."The patients sustained minor to critical injuries. Patients were treated and transported to local hospitals," she said in a statement. While on the scene, paramedics were notified of another accident that happened about 4km away. "Two vehicles collided head-on and three other vehicles then crashed into that scene while trying to avoid the debris on the road. "She said one person was treated for minor injuries and was transported to hospital. In a third accident on the M1 north after the Booysens off-rampin Johannesburg, one person died when the driver of the vehicle lost control and hit a barrier and a lamp post. Bodasing said when paramedics arrived on the scene they found a patient lying on the side of the road ."He was assessed and it was found that his vitals were deteriorating. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him but he succumbed to his injuries," she said. Another person who sustained moderate injuries was treated and transported to hospital.
