Man dies as busses collide

By Megan Hartogh

A man was killed in a tragic accident between two Golden Arrow busses on Bonga Avenue in Khayelitsha on Friday morning. According to a passenger on one of the busses, it seemed as if the bus driver was trying to overtake a taxi, and collided with the bus that was coming from the opposite direction. It is reported that the one bus was hit just behind the driver's seat. The right-hand back side of the other bus was partially ripped. The busses were still together after coming to a stop. There were several passengers injured in the accident, 30 of them were taken to the Khayelitsha day hospital for treatment. One was taken to Tygerbeg. The identity of the deceased has not yet been released.
