Durban police say they are working speedily to get to the bottom of an early morning bus accident just outside the city…

An SA Roadlink bus crashed on the N3 before the Richmond Road off-ramp at around 3h30. 74 passengers were aboard when the driver apparently lost control of the vehicle.

49 people have been hurt. Among the injured is a woman who was trapped under the wreck for more than an hour.

Police say the long-distance bus had been heading into Durban from Jo’burg when the driver apparently lost control of it.

The vehicle then smashed through a railing before coming to land on its side.
