Limpopo’s Traffic and Community Safety spokesperson, Ms Tidimalo Chuene, said the Toyota Quantum collided head on with a delivery van when its driver made an overtaking error.
“Indications are that the accident happened when a minibus taxi overtook unsafely on a barrier line and collided head-on with a light delivery vehicle,” she said. “Five men and three women died as a result of the accident while eight other people who sustained injuries were transported to nearby health facilities for medical attention.”
She said the road was temporarily closed for emergency services to attend to the scene.
Ms Chuene advised motorists to use alternative routes or exercise patience if unable to change the route.
