A tragic bus accident on the R24 in Johannesburg claimed the lives of at least 12 people on Tuesday morning, with emergency officials still on the scene.
Videos circulating on social media suggest that the bus overturned, causing passengers to be thrown down an embankment. Authorities are working to assess the full extent of the incident and provide assistance to survivors.
As a result of the crash, the northbound split between the R21 and R24 has been closed, leading to significant traffic congestion and delays.
Emergency response teams are urging motorists to use alternative routes while investigations and rescue operations continue.
