Local authorities have launched an investigation into a fatal head-on collision that occurred on the N2, just outside of Jeffreys Bay yesterday. The deceased, a 25-year-old male, was driving his white Suzuki S-Presso towards Humansdorp when he collided with a VW Caddy traveling in the opposite direction.

The horrific accident occurred shortly after 5 a.m. on Monday, according to police spokesperson Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg.

The VW Caddy, carrying a driver and two minor passengers, was also affected significantly in the collision. All occupants sustained serious injuries and were promptly transported to a Gqeberha hospital. Their current health status remains undisclosed.

Captain Janse van Rensburg confirmed that a case of culpable homicide is currently under investigation by the Jeffreys Bay police enforcement, to understand the full sequencing of events leading to this tragic incident.
