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 transport and community safety spokesperson Mike Maringa said two BMW sedans collided head-on on the D19 at Sengatane around 5:30 am.
“The driver of one the sedans was trying to overtake and collided with the oncoming vehicle.”
Six people were confirmed dead on the scene while a seventh died in the hospital. Three others were admitted to Seshego hospital with serious injuries.
The road is currently closed for traffic and motorists are advised to use alternative routes.
