Johannesburg - Six people were killed and 13 seriously injured after a bus burst a tyre, struck a tree, overturned and then began to burn at the Marloth Park turn-off near the Lebombo border post, Mpumalanga police said on Thursday.

Captain Klaas Maloka said a front tyre of the bus burst and the driver lost control of the bus at about 04:00 on Thursday.

The vehicle went into the opposite lane before striking a tree and overturning.

The bus then started to burn.

Forty-three people managed to escape from the bus. Paramedics took the 13 seriously injured people to hospital.

Six bodies have been recovered from the wreckage with emergency services still searching for more, said Maloka.
