Ten killed in Polokwane bus crash
Ten people have been killed and dozens more hurt in a bus crash on the N1 in Limpopo.
Emergency services say the vehicle overturned just outside Polokwane this morning.
ER24 says medics arrived at the scene and found some of the passengers walking around the area. Spokesperson, Russel Meiring says police are investigating the circumstances leading to the accident.
"Some 34 other patients were assessed. Five people had sustained critical injuries, while 29 others had sustained minor to moderate. Paramedics immediately set up a triage area and began to secure the scene. Paramedics treated the patients and provided the critically injured with advance life support intervention."
Meiring says once the patients were treated, they were transported to various hospitals for further treatment.
