JOHANNESBURG - A crash between an armoured truck and a bus has killed 20 people and injured another 60 in Limpopo.
The regional transport department said police divers were searching a river that runs along the highway "for people who might have been swept away."
Limpopo Transport spokesperson Tidimalo Chuene said ten passengers sustained serious injuries.
"Police are coming on board to also check if everyone has been retrieved from the scene, if there are people who have been swept away," she said.
"But currently the exercise of just accounting for everyone and informing next-of-kin is underway."
Twenty people were killed in the accident between the bus and a cash-in-transit truck.
The cause of the accident is under investigation, but heavy rains have been drenching the region in recent days, said a spokesman for the department, Tidimalo Chuene.
