Five people, including two children, were killed and nine others were injured after a bakkie overturned on the R553 Golden Highway near Sebokeng in Gauteng late on Saturday evening.

He says two children and three adults were declared dead, while nine people were treated at the scene by medical staff.

They all sustained minor to moderate injuries and were transported to Sebokeng Provincial Hospital for further care.
