At least six people have died in a horror crash on the N2 in the Eastern Cape.
The victims were travelling in a minibus taxi when it collided head-on with a truck on Saturday morning.
Provincial transport spokesperson Unathi Binqose said the minibus taxi was travelling from Alice towards Bizana while the truck was travelling from Kokstad towards Mzamba when the accident happened.
"Preliminary information suggests that the Toyota Quantum crossed into the path of the oncoming truck, resulting in a head-on collision.
"There is also a suspicion that driver fatigue may have contributed to the crash. However, the exact circumstances surrounding the collision remain subject to police investigation," he said.
Three others were seriously injured, while three others sustained slight injuries.
"The injured were attended to by emergency services and transported for medical treatment".
The victims are believed to be university students travelling home to Bizana.
This comes just a day after seven people died in another crash on the N2 near Ndabakazi.
