Speaking to Newswatch at the RK Khan Hospital in Chatsworth where many of the injured were taken, the woman said she was shocked to hear her family had been involved in the accident.
"I'm feeling so bad because, you know when you get a phone call saying someone has been hurt - how you feel to see. I was so scared, and shivering - to see the baby, two weeks born," she said.
