Driver hangs himself on tree after bus overturns, killing 9 people

According to the Free State department of health spokesperson Mondli Mvambi, the male driver, aged 31, hanged himself on a tree with a safety belt that he cut from the bus seats.

Mvambi said the driver became aware of the deaths of the passengers as medical services were talking with him. He then later walked off unnoticed to hang himself.

How sure are we that he took his own life?

So sad that he took his own life above those that passed away. My heart goes out to all. My condolences and sympathies to the families. There are no words. My Father be your comfort in this horrific and terrible time.
