One person sustained serious injuries and is in a critical condition, while eight people have been moderately injured after a light motor vehicle collided with a taxi at Bains Game Lodge in Bloemfontein late yesterday afternoon.


According to police spokesperson, Wendy Nkabi, the driver of a yellow Picanto and a taxi were driving past Bains Game lodge, when the driver of the light motor vehicle did not see the taxi coming and changed lanes. 

The driver then collided with a taxi. According to an eye-witness on the scene, a young woman was trapped inside her vehicle, and the jaws of life had to be used to free her. According to Nkabi, no-one succumbed to their injuries.

"A case of reckless and negligent driving has been opened,” says Nkabi. 

Nkabi adds the eight injured were taken to the Pelonomi hospital, and the woman who is in a critical condition was rushed to Life Rosepark Hospital.
