The horror crash in the Northern Cape claimed the lives of the seven occupants of the car, while seven sheep carcasses were also discovered in the vehicle.
This resulted in the ambulance crashing into the vehicle, which was allegedly carrying sheep that had been stolen.
“The occupants of the sedan had apparently stolen sheep and they panicked when they saw an approaching ambulance,” said the RTMC said in a statement. “The driver of the sedan attempted to do an illegal U-turn on the road, resulting in the ambulance crashing into the vehicle.”Meanwhile, two people suffered moderate injuries after the vehicle they were travelling in crashed into a house on Jackal Road in Waterloo, Verulam, this afternoon.
