Twins (3) killed in Free State bus crash
Twin girls, aged three, have died when the bus they were travelling in caught fire on the N3 south in the Free State on Friday afternoon.
Six people sustained serious to critical injuries, after the bus driver lost control of the vehicle, which crashed into an embankment on the N3 between Harrismith and Warden in the Free State.
Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha says the charred bodies of the two toddlers were found in the wreckage after emergency services extinguished the blaze.
The bus driver and one of the children were critically injured while another four sustained "very serious injuries", Botha confirms.
The fire department, paramedics and police were on the scene.
