One person has died and five others are injured in an accident just before Viva filling station on the Schoemanskloof road. The accident involved two vehicles and two trucks. Some of the patients are in a critical condition.

According to the truck driver at the scene, a Toyota Camry travelling towards Mbombela apparently overtook his truck and collided head on with a Ford Focus. The truck driver said he felt the knock which caused his truck to veer across the road and topple over. See the video below of the helicopter leaving the accident scene.
