TWO people were killed, while four others injured, in a single-vehicle accident on the N2 northbound before the N3 Spaghetti Junction on Sunday evening.
According to ALS Paramedics Medical Services spokesperson Garrith Jamieson, the accident occurred at about 23:00.
Jamieson said all the occupants of the vehicle were ejected at the accident scene.
“Paramedics arrived on the scene to find that a single vehicle had lost control and overturned multiple times, ejecting all its occupants before coming to rest down the embankment. Two women were missing after the accident, and a search was conducted by paramedics for over an hour to try to locate the ladies.

Jamieson added that the events leading up to the accident are unknown.
It has been a deadly weekend on the N3 after a collision involving several trucks, a tanker and a vehicle on Friday evening, near the Mariannhill Toll Plaza, claimed the life of one person. A section of the N3 had to be closed off after several vehicles caught alight after the accident.
