NW bus driver in court after two schoolchildren die in accident

RUSTENBURG - A 47-year-old bus driver, who is facing culpable homicide charges, appeared in the Zeerust Magistrates' Court on Thursday, North West police said.

The court heard that tragedy struck when the bus driver was transporting 49 schoolchildren to school. On the way he picked up a hitch-hiker who agreed to pay R20 for the journey. "40 learners sustained minor and serious injuries and were transported to hospital for medical attention while seven others sustained no injuries," said Captain Tselanyane.
