Collision leads to deaths and injuries- police suspect drunk driving.

This morning two vehicles were involved in a fatal accident on Koma Road where an undisclosed number of people died and others sent to hospital.

“We have heard that the people who were in the Corsa were from Ozone Pub in Moletsane, Soweto, and we suspect that the driver of the Corsa was drunk, but all that will be confirmed after medical information and police statements have been gathered.
