Six people were killed and a woman was critically injured when three cars collided on the R-512 near Lanseria Airport in Johannesburg yesterday evening.

One of the cars had apparently pushed into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with another car.

The third vehicle was unable to avoid slamming into the first two vehicles.

Netcare 911’s Jeff Wicks says the critically injured woman had to be airlifted to hospital.

In the Free State, two bakkies collided head-on on the Henneman Road near Welkom, leaving two women dead and a man seriously injured.

The women were apparently killed on impact.

The man sustained head and spine injuries and was rushed to hospital.
