'A honk, a bang and a ball of fire'

Two people who were in the sedan the bus crashed into died on the spot. Apparently the sedan, a Ford Focus, was trying to turn right onto the road to Gaborone just under a kilometre from the Mmamashia bus stop. 

Neo Motlogelwa, who was travelling to Francistown on the ill-fated bus, told Mmegi yesterday that she heard hooting, a bang and the bus swerved from side to side, dragging the sedan from its underbelly for a hundred meters or so from the point of impact.
