Junior King, the TikTok star who made millions of people laugh and dance, has died.
The 25-year-old, whose real name was Dugulth Ferreira, was killed in a horrific head-on collision on the N1 near Verkeerdevlei.
The crash happened around 7.25am.

The Gqeberha-born star was a giant on social media, with over 3 million followers on TikTok. He was loved for his dance moves, comedy clips and big personality.
His death comes at a cruel time.
