Although everyone could see the wheels now rolling in front of the bus, no one panicked and the driver controlled the vehicle safely and brought it to a stop, but unfortunately the load on the roof carrier tilted to one side at that point and forced the bus onto its side. The vehicle was not over loaded and had no standing passengers as it only had a total of 75 passengers within the vehicle sitting capacity. More news to follow. By Sibusiso Ngwenya
