Seven died in a head-on collision on the R555 near Middelburg on Monday evening. The Mpumalanga Community Safety Department said a vehicle collided with a truck which ended killing seven passengers.

“All seven occupants, including two children (a toddler and an infant), died instantly,” spokesperson Joseph Mabuza said.

The incident took place on a road between Middelburg and Stofberg. According to Mabuza, a sedan lost control and collided with an oncoming truck when it tried to overtake another vehicle on a single lane. The occupants of the truck survived.
