Two people have been killed after a motorist lost control of his vehicle on the Gonubie Main Road in East London.
A spokesperson for Provincial Traffic Unathi Binqose says the single-vehicle accident happened at midnight on Friday.
He says the driver of a BMW SUV failed to negotiate a curve and veered off the road, crashing into a tree and lamp post.
It is alleged that the vehicle was travelling from the Gonubie Hotel towards the N2.
The driver and his male passenger died on the scene.
A case of culpable homicide is under investigation at Gonubie SAPS.
The names of the victims will be released once their next of kin has been informed.
