Five dead in crash on N10 between Cookhouse and Gqeberha


The N10 Road between Cookhouse and Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape has been partially opened after a multi-vehicle crash that claimed 5 lives.

Provincial transport spokesperson, Unathi Binqose, says 2 males and 3 females died. Two other people who sustained injuries were rushed to hospital.

Police are investigating a case of culpable homicide.

Earlier, Binqose said emergency personnel are still on the scene, and the N10 remains closed to traffic due to the area being remote.
