Durban – At least 14 people are feared to have been killed when a minibus taxi crashed into a stationary truck, near Umkomaas, on Friday, KwaZulu-Natal traffic officials said.

Provincial Road Traffic Inspectorate spokesperson Zinhle Mngomezulu said it was believed that 14 people were killed in the accident on the R102.

“There are about 14 bodies, but they are mangled with the wreckage. That is why we are not sure.”

She said the driver of the taxi had been arrested for driving under the influence.
