The spokesperson for the Department of Police, Roads and Transport in the Free State, Hillary Mophethe, reports the accident occurred at around 07:00 am when a delivery vehicle with a KwaZulu-Natal registration plate collided head-on with a Northern Cape truck. 

The delivery vehicle reportedly had six occupants. 

The sheer impact of the collision swayed the truck into the middle of the road where a second delivery vehicle from the same company as the first crashed into the accident scene resulting in more casualties. 

The vehicle had three occupants. 

Mophete says “one person was left with serious injuries and one survived with minor injuries and was transported to Thebe Hospital for treatment”. 

Fatigue has been identified as the possible cause of the accident.
