One vehicle was a Toyota Dyna popular known as ‘matshelonyana’ and the other one was Land Cruiser.

“The Dyna had three people in it and only one died, while five out of the six people in the Land Cruiser lost their lives. Two survivors are admitted at Gantsi Hospital while the other one was referred to Bokamoso Private Hospital. They all sustained serious injuries,” he said.
