Durban - Four children were killed in a horrific taxi accident on the R102 in Inanda, north-west of Durban, on Sunday.

It is believed the taxi, which was filled with young children, was returning from an outing when it overturned.

Those who died were between three and five, Netcare 911 spokeswoman Santi Steinmann said.

Derrick Banks of ER24 said a dog was killed too and four other children, all of primary-school age, were injured.

Last week the MEC for Transport, Willies Mchunu, expressed dismay at the news that 53 people had died in 42 accidents on KwaZulu-Natal’s roads over the long weekend.

Meanwhile, in Modimolle (Nylstroom) in Limpopo, seven people were killed when the minibus they were travelling in collided with a car on the N1 on Sunday.

Two were critically hurt and seven others were seriously injured, Steinmann said.

On the N3 near Warden on Sunday a car went into a truck and three people died.

A boy, of about six, was the only survivor in the car.
