Horrific accident on N12 road between Ogies and eMahlahleni
Seven people have died in a collision between two vehicles on the N12 road between Ogies and eMahlahleni in Mpumalanga early this morning.
A sedan and a van collided after one vehicle lost control and veered to the opposite lane.
Provincial Safety and Security spokesperson Moeti Mmusi says five of the deceased were occupants of the sedan and the two others were in the Van.
Mmusi has warned motorists to drive with caution on the roads.
“One of the vehicles seemingly lost control and veered completely off the road and crossed into the opposite direction before colliding with the vehicle in the opposite lane. This seems to suggest that one of the vehicles must have been moving at high speed.”
Police and the Road Traffic Management Cooperation are investigating the cause of the crash.
