Bus passenger causes M1 crash after 'wrestling' driver
Multiple people have been injured following a serious accident on the M1in Booysens involving a bus and six other vehicles near Booysens Road.
According to the Johannesburg Metro Police Department, preliminary information suggests the bus was travelling south on the M1 towards the Booysens Road off-ramp when a passenger reportedly had an altercation with the driver and grabbed the steering wheel.
"The bus subsequently lost control, veered off the M1 South, crossed the barricades and median, and collided with vehicles on the M1 North," said JMPD spokesperson Xolani Fihla.
The M1 North was closed to traffic at Booysens Road on Monday morning, causing significant disruptions.
As a result, motorists have been advised to use Crownwood Road or Xavier Street as alternative routes from the M1 North.
Law enforcement officials are on the scene.
