Durban - More than 60 passengers injured when a bus careened down an embankment near Durban's Sibaya Casino have been taken to various hospitals in the Durban area, paramedics say.
Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha said at least one person was critically injured and one passenger is in a serious condition, while the others were slightly injured.
The bus belongs to a private company but it is not known where it was headed.
"There was a crash barrier right through the floor of the bus," Botha said.
ER24's Durban branch manager Craig Wylie said paramedics on the scene had told him it appeared the bus had a tyre blow out and careened 20 metres down an embankment.
