Miracle escape after taxi swept into flooded Duzi River

Four people were lucky to escape when a taxi was swept into the flooded Duzi River on Wednesday following heavy rainfall in KwaZulu-Natal.

ER24 spokesman Ross Campbell said that the taxi was driving on Barnsley Road, in the Camps Drift area of Pietermaritzburg.

"Flash flooding from the heavy rain in the area meant the normally calm stream had burst over the top of the bridge, taking the taxi with it," he said.

"Luckily a series of concrete bollards caught the vehicle before it dropped further over into the deeper water."

This was no miracle escape... the taxi driver was a fscking retard of the highest order... should be charged with attempted murder for his fscking stupidity.
**EDIT** I saw an earlier video which is quite a bit longer, the taxi driver drove INTO the damn situation, it didn't just magically happen around him.

Glad they're all safe.
surprised the driver couldn't perform one of his magical avoidance manoeuvres.
