Two people died after the pickup they were travelling in plunged eight metres after veering off the N1 in Kraaifontein, paramedics said.

ER24 spokesman Tristan Wadeley said that the pickup veered off the road, went over a concrete barrier and fell about eight metres below onto railway tracks.

The driver -still trapped in his seat - and his passenger - who had been ejected from the pickup - were both dead by the time paramedics arrived on the scene. - Sapa
