Seven people including a baby died when an SUV and light delivery vehicle collided head-on on the N12 between Kimberly and Warrenton in the Northern Cape.

Both vehicles caught alight totally burned.

Five other people died on the N12 in Fochville, Gauteng when two vehicles were also involved in a head on collision.

Three people died on the scene while two others died later in hospital.
The exact causes of these crashes has not yet.

Motorists are further advised to take regular rest stops when travelling on long distance trips.
