A total of 77 people were injured after a Joburg Metro bus and a Star bus collided at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) in Auckland Park, Johannesburg, on Tuesday morning.
Three UJ students were injured in the collision while 16 other people were treated at the UJ Medical Centre for minor injuries, UJ spokesperson Masego Panyane said.
“One of the buses was ferrying students between the university’s campuses. Various support divisions from the university, including the UJ medical support services and campus protection were immediately on the scene to assist,” Panyane said.
