He said the injured passengers were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment.<\/p>\n

The Western Cape MEC of mobility, Daylin Mitchell, who visited the scene shortly after the crash, said about 38 people had been injured. Said Mitchell:<\/p>\n

While I\u2019m relieved that there were no fatalities, I wish to remind public transport operators of the big responsibility they have in transporting human life.<\/p>\n

Public transport will remain a priority to me in the lead-up and over the festive season and I am issuing a stern warning to all operators \u2013 we will have a zero-tolerance approach to compliance.<\/p>\n

Ineke van Huyssteen, the spokesperson for ER24, said 30 patients, including children, sustained injuries ranging from minor to moderate, while eight patients sustained serious injuries.<\/p>\n
