Two people were killed and 13 others injured following a collision on the R75- Uitenhage Road in an area known as Chatty Dip.

A minibus taxi collided with a Volkswagen Golf in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

According to Provincial traffic, the taxi carrying 13 occupants was travelling from Perseverance towards Bethelsdorp when it collided into the Golf at 4 am.

It is alleged that reckless and negligent driving was the cause of the collision as one of the vehicles failed to obey the traffic signals.

Both occupants in the Golf died at the scene, while passengers in the taxi including the driver were taken to Dora Nginza Hospital for further medical assistance.

A case of culpable homicide is being investigated.
