A bus carrying worshippers headed to an Easter festival in South Africa plunged off a bridge on a mountain pass and burst into flames, killing at least 45 people. The sole survivor of the crash was an 8-year-old, who was sent to a hospital and is receiving medical attention. The Limpopo provincial government said the bus veered off the Mmamatlakala bridge and plunged 50 meters into a ravine before busting into flames. Search operations were ongoing, but many bodies were burned beyond recognition and still trapped inside the vehicle.
