The driver of the bakkie was also hurt. Netcare911's Chris Botha says the bakkie was pushed into a concrete barrier.


"When we arrived there, people were still trapped in the crumpled remains of this bakkie. Tragically, a man there - a passenger - died on the scene, due to very severe injuries he sustained. The driver of the bakkie escaped with moderate injuries. He was treated at the scene and transported to a nearby hospital for further care," he said.
