BREAKING NEWS: 3 dead, including pupil, in KaNyamazane accident
This is the third serious accident involving schoolchildren in two weeks.
Three people, including a child, lost their lives in a multiple-vehicle accident this morning at about 07:15 on the KaNyamazane road.
The head-on collision involved a school bus, a truck and a bakkie. All necessary services are on the scene and the road will remain closed until about 10:00.
Both occupants of the bakkie lost their lives, as well as one of the children on the school bus.
Emer-G-Med’s Martin Jeffrey said 27 patients were transported to Rob Ferreira Hospital, from where those with medical aid will be transferred to private care facilities.

This is the third accident in two weeks involving schoolchildren. Last week, seven children were struck by a vehicle on the KaBokweni road, exactly a week after six teenagers had passed away in the Middelburg area when their school bus crashed into a moving train.
