15 hurt in marquee collapse
Fifteen people have been hurt after a tent collapsed during a meeting at Durban's Cato Manor.
Paramedics say nearly 70 people had been attending a meeting yesterday at the local sports ground when the marquee was toppled by strong winds. Among those injured were three children.
Rescue Care's Garrith Jamieson some of the furniture was flung around in the strong winds.
"Before paramedics arrived three children are believed to have been rushed to hospital with serious injuries", he said.
"Approximately 15 people sustained minor injuries for which they were treated by Rescue Care paramedics before being taken to hospital because there were chairs and tables that were flung by the wind which hit them", Jamieson said.
