Six people were killed in an accident on the N-10 between Cradock and Middleburg in the Eastern Cape on Wednesday night.
Provincial traffic spokesperson, Charles Bramwell says a truck collided head-on with a car.
An SUV with seven occupants collided with an articulated truck with two trailers which only had the driver on board.
Six people in the SUV were killed, three men and three women.
One adult male passenger sustained critical injuries along with the truck driver.
They were both taken to the Cradock Provincial Hospital for further medical assistance.
A case of culpable homicide is under investigation.
Exactly one week ago four people were killed on the same stretch of road when a driver lost control of his vehicle and overturned.
A father and his 3-month-old baby were the only survivors.
