This horrific accident just happened a few minutes ago(this Sunday afternoon) on the way to Pretoria. The accident involves an Eldo Coaches bus and a light vehicle. Judging from the video clips of the horrific accident currently circulating on Twitter, the bus crashed into the vehicle which burst into the flames as a result of the impact. The accident took place on the N14 (Ben Schoeman Freeway) South of Eufees road. Passers-bys have stopped by the road but there\u2019s nothing they can do to assist the driver of the car who is trapped inside the burning car. People are screaming and sympathizing with the trapped driver as they wait for emergency services. It is such a terrible sight!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/8d0ed238dfb0476c9bc1184542377b1a\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The accident scene is the exact spot where 17 passengers escaped a bus accident with minor to serious injuries just three days ago. The victims were transported to Kalafong, Pretoria West and Unitas Hospitals.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/709a7d15914b491298429ff32a22dce7\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there have been some serious concerns about Eldo Coaches. Less than three months ago, one person died and 59 people were injured after a bus belonging to Eldo Coaches veered off the road and crashed on the R56 in Umkomaas Valley near Ixopo on. AFTER another bus crash involving Eldo Coaches, a call has been made for increased vigilance and oversight regarding road safety. IFP spokesperson MP Mkhuleko Hlengwa said this should involve regular vehicle roadworthiness checks, drivers being limited to eight-hour driving stints, and drivers undergoing sobriety tests before each trip.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/863e691a78be4208a484d001e3e042c3\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Many reviews about Eldo Coaches are negative and a call for concern. If it\u2019s not bad service, it\u2019s the bad state of busses or clueless drivers. \u201cGood people if you are going to travel long distance don\u2019t take Eldo Coaches. Their services are very poor and their busses need service. We\u2019ve been stuck here since 01:00am and now its 08:00am\u00a0without any help,\u201d a passenger complained on Twitter. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ddd68a8f1be14c4a893731b1b31f4b6f\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-center\">By Clever Advertising<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:https:\/\/twitter.com\/KgBongani\/status\/1495405766190243843?s=19<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"ql-cursor\">\ufeff<\/span><\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/befd296b429e461d8bb07646a17e454b\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Mmapula (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
