A horrific accident in Ga-Nala claimed the life of a 35-year-old man.
The accident happened on November 27.
According to police the man tried to overtake a heavy loaded bakkie and did not see an oncoming bakkie in the opposite lane.
He swerved out for the bakkie, lost control of his vehicle and rolled it.
His passengers were badly injured in the accident and taken to Evander Hospital.
Provincial police spokesperson Brig Leonard Hlathi urged motorists to be very careful when traveling this festive season.
“With the festive season on our doorstep, many South Africans are likely to be in the final stages of planning their holiday activities, most of which will include road travel. It is a massively underrated responsibility you take on when you sit behind that wheel and it is important not to forget the basics, do not drink and drive. Motorists should also remember to only ever overtake others when it is safe to do so.”
