Emer-G-Med paramedics were called to the scene just after 22.00 where two heavy motor vehicles collided.
“Two males, believed to be the towing operators, were declared deceased on arrival of paramedics while a third man was treated for moderate injuries and taken to a nearby hospital for further care,” said Kyle van Reenen, spokesperson for Emer-G-Med.
It is alleged the articulated vehicle had experienced mechanical failure and while towing operators were assisting, a second heavy motor vehicle crashed into the scene.
SAPS are investigating the cause of the accident.
