Two British female students have been killed in a road accident in north-eastern South Africa.

Local police say the tourist truck was carrying 18 British students, two British teachers, a Zimbabwean driver and a South African guide.

The BBC's Karen Allen said a man had been critically injured in the accident near Nelspruit.

It is understood the group was not in South Africa for the World Cup and they were due to return home on Friday.

According to local reports the truck swerved and overturned on a road.

Local reporters said some of the injured were trapped under the truck for a period of time.

Karen Allen, in South Africa, said the region was mountainous and the roads were "pretty treacherous", but the infrastructure in the surrounding area was good and ambulances would be quick on the scene.
