Thirteen Howick High School pupils were injured when their bus overturned on Wednesday, KwaZulu-Natal paramedics said.

The bus rolled 30 metres down an embankment after the driver lost control of it, possibly due to poor visibility, near the Kranzkloof Road around 6pm, ER24 spokesman Derrick Banks said in a statement.

Six boys were treated for possible neck and back injuries and multiple lacerations, while another four were treated for minor to moderate injuries and taken to Pietermaritzburg and Howick hospitals by ambulance. Another three boys were taken to hospital by their parents.

No other vehicle was involved. – Sapa
