COOKHOUSE <\/strong>– A fatal multi-vehicle crash claimed five lives yesterday, 30 November, on a remote stretch of the N10 between Cookhouse and Gqeberha, the Eastern Cape Department of Transport confirms. The collision involved two trucks and a bakkie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Department of Transport and Safety spokesperson Unathi Binqose said emergency services were on the scene and the situation remained fluid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We note that the remoteness of the area and poor mobile phone network coverage are contributing to delays in the flow of information from the crash site,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The department was working closely with law enforcement, EMS, and other stakeholders to gather verified details as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A total of five people have died (two males and three females) in that accident that occurred on the N10 today,” Binqose said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that two others sustained injuries and were rushed to Andries Vosloo Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“The road has since been reopened to traffic.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
