The accident occurred at the 73-kilometre peg when an Isuzu lorry carrying six passengers collided head-on with a Toyota Axio that had three occupants on board. 

Two people died on the spot, while three others sustained injuries in the crash.

Police said the bodies of the deceased were taken to Murambinda Mission Hospital mortuary for postmortem, while the injured were admitted to the same hospital for treatment.
