Twenty people were killed and 68 others were injured when a tour bus and an armored cash-in-transit van collided head-on in South Africa.
The bus fell into the river below after the vehicles collided on a highway bridge.
The paramedic company ER24 reported that "16 down by the river" and "three people were found deceased by the roadside.".
It continued, "The majority of the fatalities down by the river had been trapped under the bus.
A patient later passed away in a hospital.
