Mbombela crash leaves 7 dead
A collision between a minibus taxi and a truck killed seven people in Mpumalanga on Saturday morning.
Traffic officials say seven people died after a minibus taxi, travelling from KaNyamazane towards Mbombela, crashed into a truck.
Provincial community safety spokesperson Moeti Mmusi says eleven other people were injured.
Officials had to close the road to clear the wreckage.
“The cause of the accident isn’t clear at this stage. All we know is that the minibus taxi had right-of-way at the time of the accident but was probably driving at a high speed which is why the impact was that huge,” says Mmusi.
