Four people including a child died after their car collided head-on with a truck in Coligny in the North West on Sunday. 

"Police first thought that [only] three people had died in the accident, but later confirmed that a child had also died in the wreckage," police spokesperson Colonel Adele Myburgh told News24.

The truck was carrying coal and was travelling to Johannesburg on the N14, when the incident happened.
