Six people died while eleven others were seriously injured when a mini-bus taxi and a truck collided near Paarl on Friday.
The injured taxi driver was amongst the two women and four men who died on the scene. According to the Argus, the fact that the driver was injured quite badly makes it more difficult for police to establish what went wrong.
Police Spokesperson Elliot Sinyangana said that the injured people were still in a bad condition at nearby hospitals and could not give information to the police.
Both vehicles were damaged and it was confirmed by Sinyangana that the accident occurred on the R45 in Groote Drakenstein near Simondium. A case of capable homicide has been opened.
