Paramedics assessed them and found that two had suspected neck and back injuries and were placed on specialised boards. The remaining six patients were treated for minor cuts and general body pains. They were stabilised on scene and transported to various hospitals for further medical care.
The circumstances around the accident were unclear but the local authorities were on the scene and would investigate the accident further. Traffic was slightly affected due to the accident.
