A bus full of Zimbabwean passengers almost died in a huge crash in South Africa. The cross-border coach smashed into a tanker truck and a car near Makhado town on the N1 highway. A local transport department spokesperson said the bus driver got badly hurt and went to the hospital. Everyone else on the bus walked away without injury and found another ride to their destination. The crash shut down the road, with officials warning drivers about rainy, foggy conditions and telling them to use their lights and slow down.
They advised major delays for anyone going between Louis Trichardt and Musina because of huge traffic backups. An alternate route was suggested using the R523 road. This wreck follows another deadly bus accident near Makhado just weeks ago that killed dozens of Zimbabwean and Malawian passengers. That earlier bus was also badly overloaded, carrying far more people than its designed capacity.
