“There were 3 adults and a child who was around 7 years old in the car. We don’t know their names, but the car had Mpumalanga identification, so it is suspected they were coming to the North Coast for holiday,” said IPSS Medical Rescue spokesperson, Paul Herbst.
Paramedics declared the family dead on arrival.
A further 2 motorists received moderate injuries.
The N2 northbound was closed for most of the day, but has since reopened.
A case of culpable homicide was opened at Newark Police Station.
