Daily Sun (October 2 2014) - THERE WAS NO reason for the bus to suddenly start swerving wildly . . . Except that the bus driver had the shock of his life when he looked down. ON THE GROUND BETWEEN HIS FEET WAS A HUGE GREEN MAMBA LOOKING UP AT HIM!
The bus driver later said when he saw the snake raising its head he got such a fright that he let go of the steeringwheel and jumped to his feet.
The driver was on the M25 highway near Dube Village in Inanda, KZN yesterday morning when he
saw the snake.
Out of control, the bus raced across the lanes, side-swiping a Quantum taxi travelling next to it. Then it jumped over the grass verge between the two roads and struck a taxi coming the other way.
When the bus finally came to a standstill, four people were dead and four seriously injured.
