Winterton - Twelve people were injured, one critically and some seriously, when two minibuses collided head-on on the R74 in Winterton in KwaZulu-Natal on Friday afternoon, paramedics said.

ER24 paramedics, along with other services, arrived on the scene to find two wrecked minibuses in the road. Several people were found scattered around the scene, ER24 spokesman Russel Meiring said.
