Johannesburg - The N3 northbound was closed in the early hours of Thursday, following a crash in which one truck allegedly rear ended another, before both trucks burst into flames.
The N3 Toll concession sent out an urgent traffic alert at about 11:20am on Thursday regarding the incident, reporting that the road would be closed while emergency services attended to the accident scene.
The most recent traffic alert sent out by the N3 Toll concession, at about 4:40pm, warned road users that the northbound lanes were still closed to traffic, and northbound traffic was being accommodated via contra-flow on the southbound carriageway while recovery operations continued.
Road users have also been warned to continue to expect traffic congestion and delays in the area until the scene has been cleared.
We have reached out to police in the area to find out more information.
This is a developing story.
