Johannesburg - A driver was burnt beyond recognition after his car crashed into a truck on the N1 south in Polokwane, the Limpopo Transport Department said on Friday.
Spokesperson Boiki Tsedu said the accident happened two kilometres from the Polokwane Ultracity at about 20:40 on Thursday.
It is alleged the BMW SUV driver travelling towards Johannesburg - suspected to be male - was killed when his vehicle crashed into the truck, said Tsedu.
"The SUV driver crashed into the truck, lost control of the vehicle and then hit a tree. His car burst into flames. We suspect he was speeding and did not see the truck in time," said Tsedu.
Police are investigating.
