The death of 16 people with the deterioration of a bus in South Africa

16 people were killed in an accident of a passenger bus from controlling, and its overturning on a highway, the day before yesterday, near the Johannesburg International Airport in South Africa, and a spokesman for the South African Ministry of Transport, Colin Mesibi, said that 12 people were killed at the site of the accident, while four others died in the hospital.

According to the local authorities, the accident occurred when the driver lost control of the bus, which led to its overturning and colliding with several obstacles on the road.

The authorities are conducting an investigation to determine the accurate causes of the accident, as preliminary estimates indicate that the disaster may be due to excessive speed or a mechanical defect. The traffic police explained that the road conditions were very difficult when the accident occurred, due to the heavy rains that increased the danger of driving.

Local officials expressed their regret for the accident, calling for more striking measures to ensure public transportation and reduce such incidents.
