A deadly road crash on South Africa’s N1 highway has claimed at least 21 lives.
The collision involved two Toyota minibus taxis and a Suzuki SUV in the Western Cape.
Eighteen people died at the scene, while three others died after being taken to hospital. Four people were seriously injured.
The incident highlights South Africa’s continuing road safety challenge. Nearly 11,500 people died in road accidents across the country in 2025.
Improving road safety requires sustained attention to driver behaviour, vehicle standards, road infrastructure and emergency response.
