According to Lieutenant Annamart Deyce, spokesperson for the George Police, the deceased - a worker at the stop-go roadworks on the N2 highway between Wilderness and Kleinkrantz - allegedly walked in front of an oncoming delivery vehicle.
Deyce said the police are investigating a case of culpable homicide and the driver is undergoing counselling. The accident happened just after 14:00.
Mr Izak van Heerden, diretor of Asla Construction said the deceased was an employee of the site sub-contractor and hails from Eendekuil on the West Coast.
He asked that motorists stick to the speed limit as Asla is doing everything they can to ensure the safety of their employees.
In both the other accidents the vehicles overturned, but miraculously nobody was seriously injured.
In the second accident, a taxi carrying four passengers overturned on the Maalgate River bridge on the N2 highway just before 08:00. According to Deyce, one of the vehicle's tyres burst. "The driver lost control and the taxi rolled several times. The driver is unscathed and the passengers were taken to the George Provincial Hospital with minor bruises and lacerations."
In the third accident, a bakkie overturned on the road from the airport to George. The driver was alone in the vehicle and was treated for minor injuries.
