RIP and best wishes to the injured, but these minibuses are not fit for purpose, and are no more than flying coffins, please keep away from them, either getting in one, or driving close to them

Mini vans are no more than  Russian roulette, death traps, as said previously, give them a wide berth!!!

Saw the video of the rescue, (not going to post here) the van driver died instantly, the ambulance driver was in a very bad way, and took the longest to be released from the wreckage.
