A head-on collision on the N1 South offramp outside Polokwane has claimed the life of one of the drivers.
In a statement, transport media liaison officer Mike Maringa said a minibus and a bakkie collided earlier this morning.
It is alleged that the minibus was facing oncoming traffic and crashed head-on with a Nissan NP200. The 38-year-old driver of the bakkie was killed on impact.
Maringa added that two people were critically injured, seven passengers from the minibus sustained serious injuries, while seven others escaped with minor injuries.
