Road accidents claimed at least 26 lives in North West, KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng during the past 24 hours.

In the worst incident, seven people died when a number of vehicles were involved in a collision on the R-47 Mahikeng-Zeerust Road in North West last night.

In another horror accident, six people were killed when a bus and eight cars were involved in a multiple pile-up on the N-One at Boekenhout in Limpopo yesterday.

Apparently the bus was travelling at high speed and smashed into slow moving traffic. Three of the victims were children.

And in Durban three people were killed when four cars, a taxi and a motorbike collided on the Athlone Bridge in Durban North.

Two pedestrians were killed in Ballito in KZN when they were struck by an out of control vehicle while walking along a narrow road in the Obongo Township.
