Tragically, three adults and an infant were killed instantly, with three more victims succumbing to their injuries at Norton Hospital. A further 12 passengers sustained injuries in the crash.
A separate collision occurred at the 85-kilometre peg of the same road at around 5:32 PM. The accident involved a Chevrolet Trail Blazer and a Toyota Hilux. Preliminary investigations revealed that the Chevrolet attempted to overtake the Toyota as it was turning right, resulting in a collision that caused the Hilux to overturn.
