Johannesburg: A Mpumalanga taxi driver, who was allegedly chasing a motorist for ferrying passengers, ignored a stop sign and crashed into a woman carrying an infant.
The five-month-old infant died at the scene.
The mother and a man who the taxi crashed into survived and were taken to hospital.
Mpumalanga police have since warned road users to adhere to road traffic signs, with a view to avoid ingunnecessary loss of lives.
On Tuesday, the child’s 25-year-old mother was carrying the infant in Amersfoort. A 20-year-old man was walking nearby.
