[Polokwane 12 December 2011 15:30]
A man has been killed after the vehicle he was travelling in allegedly suddenly crashed into a bus on the N1 south bound carriageway just outside of Polokwane this afternoon.
Witnesses to the incident alleged that the vehicle suddenly swerved out and collided into the side of a large passenger bus that was passing on the opposite side of the highway. The Ford Ikon was completely destroyed in the accident and the driver did not survive the impact.
The front of the vehicle was literally shredded and crushed into something almost unrecognisable as what was once a car. The man who had been driving the vehicle has suffered extensive injuries and was dead upon arrival of paramedics.
No one in the bus had been injured.
