One person died and two were injured when a truck collided with a minibus taxi on the N1 south outside Bloemfontein on Thursday, paramedics said.

The two men injured in the accident at 5.30am, about 40km outside Bloemfontein, were treated on the scene and taken to a nearby hospital, said Netcare 911 spokeswoman Santi Steinmann.

She said it was not clear at this stage whether there had been any passengers in the taxi. The police would investigate the cause of the accident.
