Durban – The death toll in a crash between a minibus taxi and a lorry in Randfontein has climbed to 15.

Netcare 911 spokeswoman Athlenda Mathe said that one of the two people who was earlier described as being critically injured in the collision on the R41 on Friday had died. Originally it had been reported that 14 had been killed in the collision.

“The patient went into cardiac arrest. Paramedics initiated CPR, but sadly there was nothing more they could do,” she said.

Details were sketchy and at the time of writing emergency services were still busy at the accident scene. The road was cordoned off.

The reason for the collision was not immediately known and neither was it known if ,apart from the one critically injured patient, ?there were any other injured people.
