He said the car lost control and rammed into a truck parked by the road side, leaving one person dead.
Four others sustained injuries in the Golf car and were taken to the hospital,” he said.
The witness said the second accident which happened about 100 metres away from the first, involved a Daf truck with registration number XA 684 KUR and another unmarked Daf truck parked by the road side.
