The duo sustained serious head injuries and fractured legs respectively and are currently fighting for their lives at Princess Marina Hospital. Investigating the matter, Mogoditshane Police Station commander, Superintendent Boemo Bok said the accident occurred at around 2am near one of the local bars.
“It looks like the Mercedes Benz driver lost control of his car when trying to overtake and ended up hitting a Honda Fit vehicle that had two people on board and it (Honda Fit) ended up hitting a Toyota Mark X that was driving behind it. Both drivers of Mercedes Benz and Toyota Mark X escaped the accident with minor injuries and they were treated and released the same morning,” he said.
