Bus plunges off a bridge in South Africa, killing 45 people. An 8-year-old is the only survivor

Authorities say a bus carrying worshippers headed to an Easter weekend church gathering plunged off a bridge on a mountain pass and burst into flames in South Africa, killing at least 45 people. The only survivor of Thursday's crash was an 8-year-old child, who was receiving medical attention. The Limpopo provincial government said the bus veered off the bridge and plunged into a ravine before busting into flames. The victims appeared to be from Botswana. They had been on their way to the town of Moria for a popular Easter pilgrimage that attracts hundreds of thousands of worshippers who follow the Zion Christian Church. This year's pilgrimage is the first since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.
