The police spokesperson, Motantsi Makhele, says the driver of the bakkie and two passengers were transported to the Pelonomi Hospital for treatment of moderate injuries. 

He says the driver of the taxi did not report any injuries. The seven other passengers who were traveling in the taxi, however, were already gone when the police and the Emergency Medical Services arrived at the scene.

Makhele says it is alleged that they went to the hospital after complaining of minor injuries, however, the police could not trace them.

"The police were informed of other passengers who apparently went to hospital but couldn't be found at any hospital in or around the city," he said. 

A case of reckless and negligent driving is opened and will be investigated at the Park Road Police Station.
