Four people inside were killed at the scene. One of the passengers, a 12-year-old girl, was taken to Carletonville Hospital with serious injuries. A passenger of the Mercedes-Benz was also injured.

The child’s mother was among those killed in the accident.

The group was coming from Potchefstroom when the Mercedes-Benz hit their car.
