Two die in Virginia bus collision─── SABRINA DEAN 08:25 Sat, 13 Dec 2014
Virginia and Bloemfontein - Paramedics have confirmed that two people were killed and 48 taken to hospital after a commuter bus collided with the back of a truck in the vicinity of Virginia last night.
OFM News is still following up on information, but according to ER24, the truck had allegedly come to a standstill because a bakkie was trying to make a u-turn when the bus collided with it.
Patients were transported to various hospitals in the Welkom/Virginia area.
Meanwhile, a 45-year-old man is in a critical but stable condition in Bloemfontein’s Life Rosepark Hospital after surviving a head-on collision that saw the N1 south of Bloemfontein closed for about two hours for recovery last night.
She says the rest of the family, including Francis’ wife and two sons were discharged with only soft tissue injuries. She says another two patients from another vehicle were admitted to Pelonomi hospital.
