Families to identify victims of Free State bus crash
The families of the ten ANC supporters killed in a bus crash on the N1 in the Free State on Sunday will identify their loved ones at a mortuary in Germiston today.
The death toll was originally put at 11 but was revised down to 10 yesterday.
Free State police say their investigations so far suggest the drivers were swapping positions at the time of the crash. 59 other people were hurt when the bus overturned.
Police spokesperson Malebo Khosana says the drivers will be charged with culpable homicide.
"The assistant driver was in and then we went to the hospital to check on the real driver at the time of the incident. He is still in hospital but he is stable. The problem is that he couldn't talk to the investigators so we'll wait for him to recover fully and then proceed with the investigation further," he said.
The Road Accident Fund has begun offering assistance to the injured and families of the victims.
