Limpopo Transport and Community Safety MEC Mavhungu Lerule-Ramakhanya has sent messages of condolences to the families of the six people who died in the accident.
Six people have been killed and one critically injured in a multiple-vehicle accident involving a truck and five sedans in Mokopane on Wednesday night.
It is alleged that the truck failed to brake at the corner of Thabo Mbeki and Retief streets, crashed into five vehicles in front, lost control and knocked and killed four pedestrians before crashing into a Capitec bank building.
The vehicles and the building caught fire after the impact. The truck driver and the passenger were burnt in the truck. One person from a burnt sedan was rushed to a nearby hospital after escaping with serious injuries.
