Paramedics and emergency services on site after a scholar transport crash at Lena Ahrens Road near Rhodes Avenue in Glenwood, Durban on 26 January 2026.
Nine children have been injured after a taxi used as scholar transport collided with a bakkie on Lena Ahrens Roads in the Glenwood area of Durban.
ALS Paramedics Spokesperson Garrith Jamison says the cause of the crash is unknown at this stage.
“Paramedics arrived on the scene to find that a taxi carrying school kids home had t-boned a bakkie. Paramedics assessed the scene and found that nine children of various ages had sustained various injuries. Immediately, more ambulances were dispatched to assist. Once triaged and stabilised on scene, the children were taken to various Durban Hospitals for further care that they required. At this stage, the events leading up to the crash are unknown,” says Jamison.
Just last week, nine children were injured in a separate accident after their scholar transport lost control and crashed into a tree near Sarnia Primary School in Pinetown, west of Durban.
Paramedics said their injuries ranged from minor to moderate.
