Seven people have died in separate road accidents and another two of gunshot wounds in the City of Ekurhuleni so far this weekend, the city said on Sunday.

“It all started on Friday morning… on the N17 freeway eastbound, Osborn Road on-ramp when two light motor vehicles crashed, resulting [in] two passengers being killed on [the] scene,” Ekurhuleni Disaster and Emergency Management Services spokesman William Ntladi said.

On Saturday afternoon, a multiple shooting incident was reported at a shopping centre in Klippoortjie Park in Germiston at about 4.50pm. When paramedics and law enforcement units arrived on the scene, they found a man and a woman dead on the floor inside the SPAR supermarket, Ntladi said. Apparently, a VW Golf had broken down and was being pushed by two of its passengers. A Ford Fiesta then crashed into it from behind, instantly killing the two men pushing and the car driver. The jaws-of-life had to be used to recover the dead driver’s body from behind the steering wheel.

Just a few minutes later, about 400 metres away from the initial crash, a VW Polo and a VW Golf collided. “It was on the same road where [the] R103 meets with Luvuyo Street in Mapleton, Boksburg.”
