8-Year-Old Sole Survivor of South African Bus Plunge, 45 Dead

A bus carrying worshippers to an Easter festival in South Africa plunged off a bridge, killing at least 45 people, with an 8-year-old child as the only survivor. The bus veered off a bridge and burst into flames, with many bodies burned beyond recognition and still trapped inside the vehicle. The crash occurred on a mountain pass in the northern province of Limpopo, and authorities believe the bus was traveling from Botswana to the town of Moria for the Easter pilgrimage. The South African government has launched an investigation into the cause of the crash, and the incident serves as a tragic reminder of the dangers of road travel during the Easter holidays.
