A one-year-old girl, who was among passengers transported to Frere Hospital after a horrific bus accident on the N2, succumbed to her injuries on Wednesday morning — taking the death toll to 31.
On Monday afternoon a DMJ bus veered off the road along the N2 at the Kei Cuttings between East London and Butterworth and rolled 100m into a ravine, just a few kilometres from the Kei River Bridge.
The bus was travelling from Cape Town to Durban carrying 52 passengers.
Provincial transport department spokesperson Unathi Binqose said 23 bodies had been positively identified and hopes the remaining few will be identified by the end Wednesday.
