ALS Paramedics spokesperson Garrith Jamieson said paramedics arrived on the scene just before 21:30 to find the badly damaged vehicles on the busy roadway.
According to Jamieson, it is alleged that the one vehicle crossed the centre median and collided head-on into a bakkie.
“The bakkie then rolled, coming to rest on its side. Paramedics quickly assessed the scene and found that the light motor vehicle driver was entrapped in the wreckage.
“Paramedics assessed the man, however he showed no signs of life and was declared deceased on the scene. The two occupants from the bakkie had left the scene to hospital before paramedics’ arrival,” said Jamieson.
He added that police will investigate the cause of the accident.
