Johannesburg - A pedestrian and motorcyclist were killed on the N12 early on Friday morning, Ekhurhuleni metro police said.
Spokesperson Mveli Nhlapo said the accident happened at 05:45 on the N12 highway near the Elandsfontein offramp in Johannesburg.
He said according to witnesses on the scene the motorcyclist, on a black Paulson bike, hit a pedestrian crossing the highway.
Both died on the scene.
Nhlapo said metro police were struggling to get information on the deceased because neither of them had identification documents on them.
Traffic was backed up and two lanes were closed on Friday morning.
"We are trying our level best to clear the scene and appeal to motorists to be patient."
