FIVE people were killed in a head-on collision between a truck and light motor vehicle on the R57 about 15km outside Heilbron, Free State, on Friday, 22 April.

ER24 spokesman Russel Meiring said paramedics arrived at the scene at 1.45pm to find the truck and light motor vehicle on the side of the road, smashed together.

“Medics found three women and two men trapped inside the car. Unfortunately, they were all declared dead at the scene,” Meiring said in a statement.

He added that the driver and passenger of the truck escaped with no injury.

“Local authorities were on the scene for further investigations,” Meiring said.
