\u201cLiewe Jesus was saam met ons . . .\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 vertel \u2019n agtjarige seuntjie wat verlede week se gru-botsing tussen \u2019n minibus-taxi en \u2019n bus op die R326 tussen Stanford en Van Brakelstoor oorleef het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magdalena Theunissen, \u2019n toegewyde ma van vyf, was nie so gelukkig nie. Sy was op pad huis toe met haar twee jongste kinders, Monroe (8) en Priscilla (11), toe die taxi en die bus naby Boschheuvel gebots het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar oudste seun, Bronwill Theunissen, vertel hy was by die huis, nie ver van die toneel af nie, toe hy die nooddiensvoertuie se sirenes hoor loei het. Kort daarna het \u2019n familielid hulle van die botsing ingelig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy het ges\u00ea my ma l\u00ea eenkant buite die taxi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bronwill het dadelik sy fiets gevat en na die toneel gejaag, waar hy talle nooddienswerkers op die toneel aangetref het. Die feit dat hy nie nader kon gaan nie en gerugte dat sy ma en suster dood is, vertel hy, het hom byna geknak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Familielid het hom huis toe geneem en die broers en susters ingelig dat hul ma dood en hul broer en suster in die hospitaal opgeneem is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns ma was \u2019n liefdevolle mens \u2013 hardwerkend, saggeaard \u2013 en het altyd haar familie eerste gestel,\u201d vertel Charika Theunissen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSy was \u2019n ma en pa vir ons. Ons weet nie hoe ons sonder haar gaan cope <\/i>nie,\u201d het Bronwill gebroke bygevoeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Megan Davids, \u2019n woordvoerder van die departement van gesondheid en welstand, het bevestig vyf ambulanse en twee reddingsvoertuie was op die toneel om bystand te verleen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMet hul aankoms het hulle 13 pasi\u00ebnte aangetref. Die meeste het ernstige beserings insluitend veelvuldige beenbreuke opgedoen. Reddingswerkers moes ook hul reddingstoerusting gebruik om een pasi\u00ebnt wat vasgekeer was, te bevry. Pasi\u00ebnte is op die toneel behandel en daarna na die Hermanus- en Caledon-hospitaal vervoer. Vyf pasi\u00ebnte is later na die Tygerberg-hospitaal oorgeplaas. Ongelukkig is twee sterftes op die toneel bevestig,\u201d aldus Davids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns wil graag ons medelye met die familie en vriende van die oorledenes betuig.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jandr\u00e9 Bakker, \u2019n woordvoerder van die Wes-Kaapse departement van mobiliteit, het ges\u00ea die minibus-taxi het volgens ooggetuieverslae teen die bus gebots en omgeslaan.V<\/span>Vervolg op
