A tragic accident on the N2 near Wilderness involving a bakkie, a car and a truck left a woman dead and three people seriously injured.

NSRI medics helped a father and his son who had serious injuries, as well as the driver of the bakkie whose condition worsened on the scene. They are now in a stable condition in hospital.

The woman was already dead when she was discovered trapped in the car, while the truck driver came off uninjured.

Meanwhile one of Bush Radio’s reporters arrived on an accident scene along Sir Lowry’s Pass yesterday morning. A 50 year-old motorcyclist died when he and another biker collided with a bakkie.

There were bodies scattered along the road, at the time one of the bikers was moving his head while the other just lay still. The couple in the bakkie had reported injuries, as the woman had blood all over her white skirt.

Police are investigating a case of culpable homicide.
