Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Six people have been killed on the N4 toll road between Middelburg and Emalahleni on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Mpumalanga Department of Community Safety, Security and Liaison Vusi Shongwe said the crash occurred when an SUV went out of control, veered off a bridge and landed on the adjacent R35 road.<\/p>\n

All six occupants, five men and one woman, died on impact.<\/p>\n

Shongwe appealed to drivers to use the road more cautiously.<\/p>\n

“We are deeply saddened by this development. We are again appealing to drivers to be more vigilant on the road.<\/p>\n

“Those driving long distances are advised to take a break when they feel tired because fatigue is dangerous,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The cause of the tragic incident is now the subject of an investigation… it is suspected that driver fatigue may have been the cause,” added department spokesperson Moeti Mmusi.<\/p>\n

The MEC sent condolences to the bereaved families.<\/p>\n
