Probe under way to determine cause of fatal Mpumalanga accident

 Following an accident in Mpumalanga that claimed the lives of nine people, crash investigation experts from the RTMC are reconstructing the scene of a fatal accident.

The accident happened on Friday on the N11 between Middelburg and Hendrina in Mpumalanga.

Eight of the deceased were burnt beyond recognition.

Mpumalanga Community Safety spokesperson Moeti Mmusi said police are looking into cases of culpable homicide.

“The saddest thing is that the passengers were interns who started working at the mine on Monday,” said Mmusi.

Mmusi said the drivers of both vehicles escaped with minor injuries.
