Two women were killed and 12
others injured in a minibus-taxi crash on the N1 between Allandale and New Road
in Midrand on Tuesday.
ER24's Russel Meiring, says paramedics arrived to the scene to find the taxi lying on its side.
"Upon closer inspection, paramedics discovered the bodies of two women lying near the vehicle. Unfortunately, nothing could be done for them and they were declared dead."
He says the injured were assessed on scene and were found to have sustained moderate to serious injuries.
"The patients were treated for their injuries and were thereafter transported to nearby hospitals for further treatment."
Johannesburg metro police spokesperson Wayne Minnar says two cases of culpable homicide and reckless driving have been opened against the driver.
