Spokesperson for ALS Paramedics, Garrith Jamieson, said the first accident occurred at the corner of Old Mill Way and Northway Road at 04:15 and involved a single vehicle.

“A single vehicle lost control and collided with a pole. A quick triage was done, and it was found that the driver, a male in his thirties, was deceased,” he said.

Three other occupants were stabilised and transported to hospital.

In a separate incident, just before 05:00, another crash on the M4 north near Glenashley claimed another life.

“Paramedics assessed both drivers and only occupants of the vehicles and found that one person had passed away as a result of his injuries. The second driver sustained minor injuries,” said Jamieson.

SAPS is investigating further.
