A person died and two passengers unaccounted for after a driver lost control of a sedan on the road linking Stutterheim to King Williams Town on Thursday morning.
According to transport spokesperson Unathi Binqose, the two victims were flung from the sedan when the accident happened around 4am. No other cars were involved in the accident.
