A taxi and truck collided in Bloemfontein leaving 14 people injured

VRMED and other agencies were called to the scene of a taxi and truck collision on O.R. Thambo Road in Hamilton, Bloemfontein.

When VRMED crews arrived, they discovered that a minibus had crashed with a truck, trapping the driver and front passenger inside the minibus with critical injuries.

The collision also injured twelve additional passengers. Mangaung Fire and Rescue used sophisticated rescue equipment to free the two trapped patients.

Advanced care paramedics stabilized both patients on the scene before transporting them to the hospital.

All 14 people were taken to various Bloemfontein hospitals with injuries ranging from minor to moderate.

  4. To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually. In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial. According to Energy Saving Trust research from 2015, 43% of pet owners leave the heat on for their animals.To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually.
