Four people have died after an alleged drunk driver drove on the wrong side of the road.
The driver of a light delivery vehicle - driving on the wrong side of the road on the N2 outbound just after Jakes Gerwel Drive - was involved in a fatal accident early on Saturday morning.
Four people in a Toyota Corolla were killed, but the driver of the delivery vehicle sustained only light injuries.
City of Cape Town Traffic Service spokesperson, Richard Coleman, explains: “Just before 1am, we had a serious motor vehicle accident on the N2 outbound just after Jakes Gerwel Drive.
“A light delivery vehicle was travelling on the incorrect side of the N2 and collided head-on with a Toyota Corolla. In the Toyota Corolla we had three males and one female who were fatally injured.
“The driver of the overturned light delivery vehicle had slight injuries and was arrested by the SAPS.”
Coleman added that the driver of the delivery vehicle was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence.
Meanwhile another fatal crash occurred soon after when a driver lost control of his vehicle in Heideveld Road in Athlone.
The driver was killed and a passenger was slightly injured.
And on Friday night, there was a fatal crash between Caledon and Riviersonderend on the N2, about 2km outside Riviersonderend.
It’s believed a Ford light delivery vehicle and a Kia were involved in a head-on collision.
One occupant of the light delivery vehicle died and two were seriously injured.
