Seven people were killed and three others injured in a head-on collision on the D19 road outside Seshego in Limpopo on Sunday morning.
Provincial Community Safety and Transportation Spokesperson Mike Maringa said two BMW sedans collided head-on in the D19 in Sengatane around 5:30 a.m.
“The driver of one of the sedans was trying to pass and collided with the oncoming vehicle.”
Six people were confirmed dead at the scene, while a seventh died at the hospital. Three others were admitted to the Seshego hospital with serious injuries.
Currently, the road is closed to traffic and motorists are advised to use alternative routes.
In another incident, two people were killed in an accident at Maphalle in the Mopani district.
The driver of a VW Golf lost control and rear-ended a bakkie, Maringa said. The man was certified dead at the scene and the driver of the bakkie later died in hospital.
Four others were rushed to hospital.
“Preliminary investigations revealed reckless driving as the possible cause of the accident.”
