Two people were killed while two are in critical condition in hospital when the car they were travelling in overturned on the N6 between Komani and Jamestown this morning.
The accident happened near Ndlovukazi location in Komani.
The Toyota Granvia SUV which had four people in it is believed to have been coming from Lesotho when it overturned, instantly killing the two.
Police spokeswoman Captain Namhla Mdleleni said police were investigating a case of culpable homicide.
“Two female occupants died on the scene and the other two who sustained serious injuries and were in a critical condition were taken to Frontier Hospital ,” she said.
“The investigation into the case is under way. We would like to warn drivers to be careful on the road because people are dying every day on our roads.”
Transport provincial spokeswoman Khuselwa Rantjie said: “The two females who are Lesotho nationals died on the scene.”
Rantjie said investigators were still piecing together the circumstances that might have led to the crash.
“However, both rear wheels burst. It is still not clear who was the driver as all occupants were ploughed all over the road when emergency services arrived at the scene,” said Rantjie.
