A 37-year-old man in Bela-Bela, Limpopo died in an alleged suicide.
He reportedly intentionally drove onto oncoming traffic and crushed head on with a truck.
The horrific car crash happened on R516 Rooiberg road outside Bela-Bela.
Cops spokesman Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said the man drove away from his family house in Extension 8, Bela-Bela township in their family car (Datsun) after he allegedly strangled his wife and his stepdaughter to death inside the house.
He told Daily Sun that: "It is alleged that neighbours became very suspicious and went to check at the house where they found a woman lying dead on the kitchen floor inside a locked house and immediately contacted the Police."
"On arrival, the police had to use force to open the door and discovered both bodies in the kitchen and bedroom," Mojapelo said.
He added that their investigations indicated the two might have been strangled.
"We have opened two cases of murder and one of culpable homicide that are now being investigated. The motive behind the incident is still unknown at this stage but domestic violence cannot be ruled out."
Provincial Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Nneke Ledwaba warned community members to stop resorting to violence and instead seek professional assistance.
