An accident on the N2 north between Zinkwaxi and the Tugela Bridge has left a woman dead and two other people critically injured.  It is believed that a bakkie and a car collided into each other. 

Netcare 911 Spokesperson Chris Botha said it appears that one of the vehicles was making a turn on the highway, other one collided into the side of that vehicle.

Botha said a bakkie caught alight during the accident and tragically a female probably in her 30’s died there on the scene due to the very extensive injuries she sustained.

“Two other people both males’ sustained injuries one moderate one serious. They were treated on scene then transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment Botha added.  

The exact details of the cause of the accident will remain the subject of a police investigation.
