An 8-year-old girl was the sole survivor of a tragic bus crash in South Africa that killed 45 pilgrims on their way to an Easter festival. The bus, carrying worshippers from Botswana, plummeted off a bridge, caught fire, and many victims were unidentifiable due to burns. Authorities suspect the driver lost control, causing the crash. The victims were en route to a pilgrimage in Moria, South Africa. Road safety warnings are reiterated during the Easter holidays when millions travel, and last year 252 people died in road crashes over the same period. The young survivor is in stable condition, while forensic teams continue their work at the crash site.
