According to authorities, the driver of a van travelling from Mbombela towards Emalahleni lost control and veered into the oncoming lane, crashing into another car.
A male driver and two passengers — including a young boy — died instantly at the scene. Three other occupants sustained injuries and were transported to hospital for treatment.
