According to ALS Paramedics, the horrific crash involving a bus from Eldo Coaches, a light motor vehicle and multiple pedestrians happened just after 06h30 this morning.

Paramedics arrived on scene to find total carnage as they found the vehicles had collided and went to plough into multiple pedestrians.

“Two female pedestrians in their 20s and 30s, unfortunately, sustained fatal injuries.

“They were declared deceased on the scene. A further 10 patients are currently been treated on the scene before they will be transported to nearby hospitals,” ALS Paramedics said.
