Papal prayer for bus crash victims in South Africa (Rome Reports)

Pope Francis mourned the victims of the Mmamatlakala bus crash in South Africa, in which a bus went off the side of a bridge, killing 45 of the 46 people on board.

“I would like to remember the people who died in the bus crash in South Africa a few days ago,” the Pope told pilgrims gathered in St. Peter’s Square on April 7. “Let us pray for them and for their families.”
