Three people were killed in a horror three-vehicle collision in the Eastern Cape on Sunday.
The Provincial Transport Department said the accident occurred on the R-409 road at Mabhakwini location towards Butterworth.
Department spokesperson, Unathi Binqose, said that a Ford Lazer sedan with three occupants collided head-on with a Toyota Fortuner.
He said all three occupants of the sedan were declared dead on the scene while three occupants of the SUV were taken to hospital with injuries.
It appears that the two cars then crashed into a third vehicle, a Toyota Avanza, which was reportedly picking up passengers on the side of the road.
Binqose said police in Nqamakhwe are investigating cases of culpable homicide.
