Motorists were advised to be extra cautious on the roads as “unfavourable” weather conditions are expected to persist throughout the weekend.
Last month, IOL reported that a collision involving a midibus, a bakkie and an articulated truck left three people dead on the D2296 Road between Karino and Mbombela in Mpumalanga.
The crash happened on a Monday morning as the midibus was transporting learners who were travelling to various schools around Mbombela.

He said 27 people sustained injuries varying from slight to serious, and they were rushed to nearby hospitals for treatment.
