Seven Killed in Traffic Accident in S. Africa
Four adults and three children were confirmed dead after a car and a minibus collided in the Northern Province on Saturday morning, the South African Press Association reported.
The report quoted police spokeswoman Ronel Otto as saying that the minibus carrying six people of a family collided head-on with a Nissan driven by a man from Durban, the port city in South Africa's eastern province of KwaZulu-Natal.
The Durban man, who was not identified, also died in the crash. Both vehicles burst into flames shortly after the crash.
Otto said all the bodies were badly burnt.
It was believed that a driver of one of the vehicles fell asleep while driving and swerved in front of the other vehicle.
