Johannesburg – Five people have been killed and 15 others injured in two separate accidents on the N1 highway in Johannesburg, paramedics said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

A bakkie and a car collided on the N1 near the N2 split on Saturday night, spokesman Jeff Wicks said.<\/p>\n

The driver of the bakkie was trying to make a U-turn when the car collided with it, he said. The driver of the bakkie and two occupants of the car died on the scene.<\/p>\n

In another accident near the Grasmere toll plaza on the same night, two men were killed when a minibus taxi they were travelling in overturned.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems the driver lost control of the vehicle after a rear tyre burst,\u201d Wicks said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe minibus overturned repeatedly and flung two men out before it rested in the centre reservation.\u201d They both died on the scene.<\/p>\n

Fifteen injured occupants, three of them seriously, were taken to various local hospitals. – Sapa<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
