Johannesburg - A mother and her five-year-old son died in an accident between the Old Johannesburg and Samrand off-ramps in Centurion on Monday, Netcare 911 said.
Their vehicle burst into flames when it was hit from behind by a BMW.
Spokesperson Nick Dollman said the father who was driving, managed to save his baby daughter, but was unable to rescue his wife and son from the flames.
"The father was very lucky to escape with minor injuries, possibly caused from the impact or whilst trying to save his family, and he refused further medical attention," Dollman said.
The driver of the other vehicle fled from the scene.
