According to IOL, two trucks were involved in another incident when they collided, causing severe traffic on the N3 Van Reenen Pass. The N3 Toll Concession said wet weather and poor visibility also contributed to the traffic delays. ALS Paramedics Garrith Jamieson said they had already attended to multiple accidents.
“Paramedics would like to suggest motorists leave earlier to reach their destinations on time without speeding. Please also ensure your vehicles tyres and windscreen wipers are in a good condition.” he said.
