Bakkie and truck collide, killing two on the R33 in Albert Falls

Two men were killed this morning when a bakkie and truck collided head-on on the R33 in Albert Falls in KwaZulu Natal.

ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene in the early hours of the morning. A truck and bakkie sat on the side of the road, both sustaining heavy damage.

On inspection, paramedics found the bodies of two men lying a few metres away from the bakkie.

Assessments showed that both men, believed to be in their 30s, had sustained numerous fatal injuries. Unfortunately, nothing more could be done for either patient and they were declared dead on scene.

The driver of the truck was assessed and found to have escaped injury.

It is believed that the driver of the bakkie lost control, causing the vehicle to veer in the path of the truck.

Local authorities were on scene for further investigations.
