The bakkie allegedly made a U-turn near Matamanyane Junction and collided with the sedan on Saturday morning.
“Six people were killed instantly. The deceased include both drivers and four passengers. Reckless driving has been cited as a possible cause of the accident,” said Limpopo transport department spokesperson Matome Taueatsoala.
