Free State bus crash: victims' names could be released
Families of those killed in yesterday's bus accident in the Free State may hear this morning if their relatives are among the deceased.
The Road Traffic Management Corporation launched an investigation after the bus carrying ANC supporters travelling from the party's Manifesto Launch in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro, overturned between Ventersburg and Winburg, killing 11 people.
Approximately 59 others were injured.
Accident reconstruction experts were on scene yesterday, says RTMC's Simon Zwane.
"We are working with other law enforcement which is in that province to try and establish the exact cause of the crash and be able to assist the court because we believe that there will be an investigation that would require us to provide a detailed report to the court so we will be able to do that," he said.
The ANC has meanwhile also sent its condolences to the families of those killed in the accident.
