CNN —At least 20 people - mostly mine workers - were killed in South Africa’s Limpopo province on Sunday after a bus they were traveling in erupted in flames following a head-on collision with a truck, state media reported.
The Limpopo transport department said on Monday 20 people were confirmed dead on the scene while two others died at the hospital.
The vehicles collided on a major road between Musina town and Venetia mine in the northern Limpopo province, the transport agency added.
Videos from the scene of the bus crash posted on social media showed bodies lying scattered on the ground and a plume of black smoke coming from the bus.
In February, around 20 people were killed in a head-on crash between a bus and a cash-in-transit van, officials said at the time.
