6 killed in two separate collisions in Limpopo
Traffic officers are on the scene on the N1 directing traffic flow.
In the past two days, six individuals have lost their lives and numerous others have sustained injuries due to two separate collisions in Limpopo. On the N1 highway outside Polokwane, three passengers in a minibus-taxi were killed and eleven others injured when the vehicle lost control and overturned. Yesterday, a collision between a sedan and a truck on the R101 road near Modimolle claimed the lives of three people and left two others injured.
Limpopo Transport Department spokesperson Mashudu Mabata confirmed that their officers are currently on the scene at both locations, managing traffic flow and ensuring the safe movement of vehicles. He urged motorists to exercise extreme caution and follow the instructions of traffic officers. Initial reports suggest that the minibus accident may have been caused by a tyre burst, triggering the vehicle's overturning.
Despite the severity of the incidents, additional details will be disclosed once confirmed by official sources.
