A bus fire has closed the Huguenot Tunnel in Worcester, Western Cape, until further notice.
The bus caught ablaze on Friday evening, leading the Drakenstein Municipality Fire Services and the Tunnel Fire Team to respond to the scene. It is believed that an electrical fault led to the fire.
No deaths were reported and only one person sustained minor injuries.
The scene has since been cleared. However, the tunnel sustained structural damage in the incident and will be closed until a full assessment has been completed.
Du Toits Kloof Pass (R101)
