South Africa bus crash toll climbs to 16

A bus overturned in an area of Johannesburg near South Africa's main airport early on Tuesday, killing at least 16 people, city officials said, with dozens more injured. 

The bus was carrying more than 50 people to work when it crashed on a busy road near Johannesburg's O.R Tambo International Airport, officials said. Preliminary investigations showed that the vehicle swerved, rolled and landed facing the direction from which it came, the Road Traffic Management Corporation spokesman said. A survivor of the accident said that the bus appeared to be speeding.
