Johannesburg - Police say two men who hijacked a car in Limpopo have died of their injuries after rolling the car they stole.
Police spokesperson Ronel Otto said a man was hijacked on the R101 route between Mokopane and Naboomspruit.
Two men armed with a pistol wounded him in the shoulder before speeding off in his car.
The hijackers turned off the R101 towards Roedtan and a few kilometres further took another turn-off onto the Singleton road, where they lost control of the vehicle and it overturned.
One of them phoned a relative telling her he had been in an accident and was injured.
The relative informed the police, who went to the scene, but could not find the men.
Police dogs were used to trace the men, who had fled into the bushes.
They were already dead when they were found.
Two 9mm pistols were found on the scene, one of them belonging to the man who was hijacked earlier on.
