Six killed in Bloemfontein bus crash
Six people have been killed in a collision between a bus and a truck on the N8 in Bloemfontein.
The police’s Peter Kareli says the N8 is closed to traffic.
"Investigators and forensic services are busy at the scene. The N8 is closed but there are alternative routes," says Kareli.
The exact number of injured cannot be confirmed at this stage.
"We are still waiting for the truck company to inform us if the truck was full of passengers. The truck is big and can take about 113 people, so we don’t know whether it was full or half full," he says.
According to paramedics from Netcare 911, dozens of people have been injured.
