Six people, including two infants, a teenager, and three adults sadly died this morning in an accident involving a bus and a light motor vehicle in the Free State.
The Provincial Emergency Medical Service’s Sipho Towa says the collision took place at the Dewetsdorp and Reddersburg crossing.
The bus reportedly drove over the car and dragged it along for another 150m. It is still unclear what the exact cause of the accident was. Law enforcement officials are on the scene.
“At about 01:01 this morning, Free State Government EMS responded to a bus and car accident. All injured and deceased were from the car, and patients were transported to the Pelonomi Trauma Unit. We sent our condolences to those who lost family members” Towa said.
The bus had about 58 passengers whom were treated and observed for shock and later transported to the Bloemfontein Tourism Center.
This follows after at least four other reported serious accidents on the roads of Central South Africa. OFM News previously reported on two accidents that happened on the R57.
