ONE person was killed in a horrific head-on collision on the M4 on Sunday night. Two vehicles, a Mercedes and Audi collided head-on. According to Netcare 911 spokesman, Chris Botha, the cause of the crash will form part of the police investigation and comment.

“The drivers of both vehicles were found trapped in the crumpled remains of their cars with life threatening injuries. Firefighters used the Jaws of Life while medics worked tirelessly to stabilise the critically wounded men.
