“Several others sustained injuries ranging from moderate to critical.”

He said the roadway remained closed until the scene was cleared and the injured were transported to hospital.

In a separate incident earlier this week, one person died in an accident on the N2 near Stanger.

According to Herbst, the passenger laden bakkie rolled many times.

“Crews arrived to a chaotic scene after multiple persons had been ejected from the vehicle. One person was declared dead on scene whilst multiple more persons sustained injuries ranging from minor to critical.”
