The scene is now being cleared and in fact only TWO persons were fatally injured.
The one occupant of the car (a Mercedes) was in fact taken to Laingsburg Hospital with serious, but not life-threatening injuries, but no one in that car was killed.
When the paramedics arrived on scene the panel van was alight and it looked like there were four occupants, but in fact there were only two occupants and both were fatally injured and burnt beyond recognition.
