South Africa bus crash kills 18, injures 27

A South African official says a bus crash in the country's southeast has killed 18 people. Three of them were elementary school children headed to a sports event.

Transportation department official Ncedo Kumbaca said two busses apparently collided head-on early Saturday near the Eastern Cape town of Cradock. He says at least 27 people were injured, some of them severely. (AP)
