Four British tourists died on the West Coast on Tuesday night when their rental car and a truck collided on the R27 route at Saldanha.
The deceased’s family are expected to arrive in South Africa on Wednesday to identify their bodies, said police spokesperson Inspector Elliot Sinyangana.
Sinyangana said they appeared to have misjudged the distance from the truck while entering a crossing on the R27 from Saldanha at 6.20pm in a rented Nissan Almera. All four died on the scene.
Sinyangana was not able to provide ages and said their names were being withheld until their next-of-kin arrived.
The truck driver, who was also injured in the crash, was taken to a local hospital for treatment. – Sapa
