Fifteen people have been injured in a crash in which a bus they were travelling in overturned on the N1 north in Ha-Masakona village outside Louis Trichardt in Limpopo.

The injured have been taken to the Siloam Hospital following the crash which happened last night.

Provincial Transport Department’s Spokesperson Tidimalo Chuene says rainy weather and speeding are suspected to have caused the driver to lose control of the bus.

Chuene has called on motorists to exercise caution.

Meanwhile, in another accident two weeks ago, seven people were killed in a horrific multi-vehicle crash in Botlokwa outside Polokwane.

The collision happened in the early hours of the morning on the N1 stretch between Ga-Mphagani and Ga-Phasha villages.

Thirteen other people were injured.
