A head-on collision on the R61 between Komani and Tarkastad on Monday night claimed the lives of four people, believed to be related.
The crash occurred at about 11pm when a Mercedes-Benz sedan with four people collided with a truck carrying two occupants.
“All four occupants of the sedan — a woman, two men and a boy — died at the scene,” provincial transport spokesperson Unathi Binqose said.
“The truck’s occupants sustained minor injuries.”
This incident brings the total number of fatalities on Eastern Cape roads on Monday to 10.
