Five people were killed when a Volkswagen Polo and a Greyhound bus collided.
Lieutenant Colonel Thabo Covane, a spokesman for the South African Police Service (SAPS) in Free State, said that officers were dispatched to the scene and, upon arrival, discovered that a light motor vehicle and a Greyhound bus had collided.
