According to officials, the incident occurred when the bus collided with a bakkie that was parked on the road due to a breakdown, without any warning lights or a breakdown triangle. 


Provincial Transport and Community Safety Department spokesperson, Tidimalo Chuene, said the possible cause of the accident is reckless driving.
