45 killed as bus falls from bridge in South Africa

Forty-five people were killed in South Africa on Thursday when a bus plunged off a bridge and into a ravine, the transport ministry said. An eight-year-old girl was seriously injured in the incident and has been airlifted to hospital. She is believed to be the only survivor among the dozens of passengers. The bus is believed to have been carrying Christians from Botswana, who were heading to a church in the town of Moria for the Easter weekend when it drove off the Mmamatlakala bridge and burst into flames. #bus #southafrica #crash Read more: Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
