Five people have died and four are in a serious condition after a Toyota and VW Jetta collided on Mew Way, near Spine Road in Khayelitsha last night.

The four of the victims were dead on arrival of emergency services. A fifth passenger died later at hospital.

“Rescue crews from Metro Rescue and the Fire Department had to use hydraulic rescue equipment to extricate some of the patients from the mangled cars,” said ER24 spokesperson Tristan Wadeley.

Police have registered a case of culpable homicide for investigation.
