About ten people were injured in an accident when a taxi overturned on the M 2 near the Denver road turn off this morning.

The taxi’s rear wheel allegedly burst causing the driver to lose control.

When Netcare 911 paramedics arrived at the accident scene they found the twisted remains of the taxi obstructing the highway.

Some of the passengers fell out of the vehicle as it rolled and the rest were climbed from the wreckage after it came to rest.

Six people sustained serious injuries and four escaped from the wreckage with only minor injuries.

The patients were transported to various hospitals.
