Mabaso said emergency services received a call at around 05:05 that a bus and a truck had collided on the M17 in Patryshoek, near the Bundu Inn Resort.<\/p>\n

He said:<\/p>\n

He said City of Tshwane firefighters, Gauteng Emergency Medical Services and private ambulance services treated and extricated the injured.<\/p>\n

Mabaso said 15 people were declared dead on the scene, while 37 were transported to Dr George Mukhari, Steve Biko and Kalafong hospitals.<\/p>\n

“Of the 15 deceased, eight were females and seven males, whereas 26 patients sustained minor to moderate injuries, four sustained moderate to critical injuries, and seven suffered critical injuries,” he added.<\/p>\n

Mabaso said the M17 road remained closed between the N4 on-ramp and off-ramp and the K8, Rosslyn, to allow the recovery of the bodies, the bus and truck, and on-scene investigations.<\/p>\n

“The closure is anticipated to last more than five hours. The cause of the accident remains the subject of an investigation by law enforcement agencies.”<\/p>\n
