"A Mercedes Benz with two occupants, including the driver, was travelling from Port Alfred and collided with a Jaguar travelling from Kenton. The number of occupants in the Jaguar has not been confirmed."

On Sunday night, the Dispatch confirmed the Jaguar belongs to Andrew Turnbull.

It was not clear who the dead were, but Rantjie said the injured had been taken to Port Alfred hospital for treatment.

On Turnbull's Facebook page, a woman said Turnbull had been taken to hospital in Port Elizabeth with serious injuries.

"It's alleged that driving at high speed may have contributed to the incident. Local authorities will continue with further investigations," Rantjie said.

Turnbull is out on bail after being accused of assaulting his former girlfriend‚ Chere Gray.
