Eleven commuters narrowly escaped with their lives yesterday morning after a nightmare accident in which a 16-seater combi and a Toyota RunX cab collided at a high speed in Block 6.

The accident happened at 5:40 by the traffic lights popularly known as “Millennium Bar turn-off,” police told Mmegi. The combi was carrying nine passengers on board, while the cab had two. All passengers sustained injuries after their vehicles rolled several times, but no fatalities were recorded. Number 13 district traffic officer, Boiki Mojalemotho said the incident was the latest in a series of mishaps involving public transport vehicles and speed. 

“The combi was from Mogoditshane heading to the bus rank whilst the cab was trying to turn into Block 6,” Mojalemotho said. “We suspect that one of the vehicles failed to stop by the traffic lights and the two vehicles collided, overturned and rolled.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
