One person died and two others were injured in an accident between a sedan and a truck, fully laden with manure. 

The accident happened on Monday afternoon about 6km from Makhado (Louis Trichardt) on the Thohoyandou Road.

According to information provided by the police, the driver of the truck, Mr Takalani Rammbuda, lost control over the truck when the front tyre of the truck allegedly burst. Rammbuda was travelling towards Thohoyandou and veered into oncoming traffic, colliding head-on with the vehicle of a woman traveling towards town. The woman cannot be identified as her next of kin still had to be notified at the time of going to press. She was pinned inside the twisted wreck of her luxury Audi S6, while the truck capsized.

Rammbuda and his co-driver, Mr Shadrack Chauke, sustained minor injuries and received treatment at the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital.

Makhado police spokesperson WO Takalani Madzhigili said that the police were investigating a case of culpable homicide.
