At least 6 people have died and several others seriously injured, when the bus they were traveling in collided with another bus, on the N2 between Mossel Bay and Voorbaai, in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The Western Cape's Mobility MEC, Ricardo Mackenzie, said according to reports, it is alleged that one of the buses took a wrong turnoff leading it to move into oncoming traffic.

“We received reports early this morning of a fatal crash between two buses traveling on a national road, the N2 between Mossel Bay and Voorbaai.
