Six people have been killed after the taxi they had been
travelling in veered off the road and rolled multiple times in the Kranskop
area in central KwaZulu-Natal.
Initial indications are that the driver lost control of the vehicle before it crashed down an embankment and rolled several times.
It is believed the vehicle had been heading to Nkandla.
Five people died at the scene due to the severe injuries they sustained.
“Another five people were critically injured and were transported to a nearby hospital,” said IPSS Medical Rescue’s Paul Herbst.
Sadly, a 6th person, a pregnant woman, passed away in hospital.
