JOHANNESBURG, Sept 8 (Reuters) - A head-on collision between a truck and a bus killed 13 people and seriously injured four others in South Africa's Eastern Cape province on Saturday, SAPA news agency reported. The agency said emergency workers were trying to extract two other passengers from the wreckage while two men and two women had been taken to hospital. It did not say what state the trapped passengers were in. In another report, SAPA said 4 people died when another truck overturned in the Free State province. About 10,000 die on South Africa's roads each year, making the country one of the world's most dangerous places to drive. Road safety group Arrive Alive says an estimated 25 in 100,000 people die in road accidents in South Africa, compared with 4 in 100,000 people across Europe.
