Three men from Groot Brak River died yesterday when the bakkie they were travelling in plunged down a cliff in the Mossel Bay area of the southern Cape.
A police spokesperson said on Sunday morning that the bodies of the passengers were still trapped in the wreckage.
The police suspect that the driver left the Kleinplaas road at about 3pm and fell about 100m before coming to a stop in an overgrown area. The police said the scene was difficult to reach and an emergency services helicopter was expected to be used to retrieve the bodies. The driver was in his forties and the other two fatalities were, respectively, 18 and 26. A case of culpable homicide was being investigated.
