The death toll in Friday's horror accident on the N2 near Pongola has risen to 21.
A spokesperson for KZN EMS Robert McKenzie said most of the deceased are children between the ages of five and 12.
The kids were being transported home from school in a bakkie when a truck smash into them from the oncoming lane.
Mckenzie says several victims were trapped in the wreckage.
KZN Transport, Community Safety and Liaison MEC Sipho Hlomuka expressed sadness and said this accident comes as the province is preparing an intense Transport Month campaign in October.
