Twenty people have been confirmed dead and 68 injured in a head-on collision between a tour bus and a cash-in-transit van on the N1 in the Louis Trichardt area of Limpopo.
The bus then rolled from the freeway bridge into the river below, landing on its side.
ER24's Ross Campbell says their paramedics arrived on the scene shortly after 8 o'clock on Monday night along with the Fire Department, Provincial EMS and Rescue and several other private Emergency Medical services.
One patient, of the 69 passengers confirmed transported to hospital for various injuries, has since died.
Campbell says three people were found deceased by the roadside and 16 down by the river - all were declared dead on arrival at hospital.
Most of the fatalities down by the river had been trapped under the bus.
Campbell says heavy rain had been falling in the area at the time of the accident.
