All four members of an Alberta, Canada missionary family have been killed in a head-on collision in South Africa.
CBC News reports Brendan Perrott, 33, and Melissa Perrott, 32, along with their two children Evelyn, 5 and Colton, 3, were killed in the accident that happened on the R74 road Sunday between QwaQwa and Harrismith. In addition, five other people were killed in the crash, including Sabelo Sibeko, who was an orphan. The Perrotts had taken him along on a day trip so he could compete in a bike race.
Witnesses reported the vehicles were unrecognizable after having burst into flames. All of the passengers in the two vehicles died on impact, according to the CBC.

I had to post this, about a year or two ago, I am aware of a charitable organization (Feed My Hungry Children I believe) where late at night or early morning as these stories often happen, a semi and this car carrying a family, the parents and 2 children I believe as well, killed the family. They were charity workers. This happened in the US and it happened in a "construction zone".) So, this is a bit similar. That story might have been posted here. Great tragedies. Prayers.
