Three people were killed, and three others left injured on Monday when a bakkie and an SUV collided head-on on the N1 between the R81 and R101 in Polokwane.
ER24 said paramedics, along with several other services, arrived on the scene at 05h20 to find the two vehicles in the middle of the road well alight.
“Three people were found inside the vehicles while three others were found outside the vehicle,” said spokesperson, Russel Meiring.
He said once the Provincial Fire Services had extinguished the blaze, medics assessed the three patients inside and found that all three had already succumbed to their injuries.
Meiring said two people sustained critical injuries while a third was “in a serious condition”.
Police have opened inquest dockets in the matter.
