Free State paramedics had a gruesome task early this morning on the scene of a crash outside Harrismith.

Twenty-eight people were killed and nine others injured, two of whom critically.

Netcare 911’s Jeffrey Wicks says a minibus taxi and a heavy goods truck collided head-on on the N-3.

A number of children are among the dead.

The minibus was apparently carrying 37 people.
