They were transported to Dover Sound where they were met by an emergency team and ambulance from the Rand Hospital and and were transferred there for examination. Mrs. Jennifer Bullard, who is pregnant and was accompanied by her three children Tamacio, Terranique, and Tania, suffered a gash on her head and was the only one hurt.
