On Monday, preliminary investigations indicated that a Putco Bus, an SBV Armored vehicle and a Toyota Avanza type vehicle got involved in a head-on collision.
The Minister of Transport, Dr Blade Nzimande, on Tuesday passed his condolences to the families and friends of the six deceased persons who died at Kameeldrift in the Gauteng side of the R573 Moloto road.
“All attempts have been made to track and inform the next of kin of the deceased and the injured of this unfortunate incident,” said Nzimande. The 160km stretch of the Moloto Road runs through the provinces of Gauteng, Mpumalanga and Limpopo, and is used by close to 60,000 commuters on a daily basis. “It is alleged that the driver of the SBV vehicle lost control and collided head-on with the bus and then the Avanza drove into the bus,” said Nzimande.
