At least 29 people were killed and about 30 were injured when a truck slammed into a bus late yesterday on South Africa’s so-called “Road of Death.”
The accident occurred on the Moloto Road near Kwaggafontein in Mpumalanga province, about 100 miles (161 kilometers) northeast of Johannesburg, the government said in an e-mailed statement. The bus belonged to Johannesburg-based Putco Ltd., the South African Press Association reported, citing company spokesman Romeo More. More didn’t immediately respond to a voice message and an e-mail seeking comment.
