An accident on the R40 road to the Kruger National
Park from White River and
Hazyview in Mpumalanga left ten
people dead and burnt beyond recognition and forty injured.
The accident occurred when a bus collided with a truck
and a car. The truck then set
alight.
ER24 Spokesperson Russel Meiring said ER24 paramedics,
along with other services, arrived on scene finding the large bus well ablaze.
Meiring added that ten lifeless bodies lay burnt
around the bus. Paramedics immediately began their treatment of the forty
patients found on scene, their injuries ranging from minor to moderate.
“Some of the patients required advanced life support
before they were transported to various hospitals, including Mediclinic
Nelspruit. Provincial fire services battled for some time to get
the blaze under control.” Meiring said.
