Three tourists were killed and four others were injured in an accident at the Shamwari Game Reserve near Grahamstown, Eastern Cape police said on Monday.
Spokesperson Superintendent Michelle Matroos said the driver at the reserve was taking seven visitors sightseeing on Sunday afternoon when he experienced difficulties on an uphill slope.
Their vehicle then rolled backwards and overturned, killing the three women — two from the United Kingdom and one from South Africa. The other four passengers were injured and taken to a local hospital. Only the driver escaped unhurt.
Matroos said a case of culpable homicide has been opened and that the police were gathering information from the survivors. – Sapa
