N12 delays expected
A heavy-tonnage truck and a minibus taxi collided, with the truck’s heavy load severely impacting the driver’s cabin area.
“Regrettably, the driver of the truck sustained fatal injuries and was declared deceased on the scene.
“The driver of the minibus taxi escaped with no injuries, and no other injuries have been reported. JMPD extends its deepest condolences to the deceased’s family,” stated JMPD spokesperson Superintendent Xolani Fihla.
Motorists were urged to avoid the area until further notice as JMPD expect the debris removal to last several hours.
“Motorists travelling westbound are urged to divert well ahead of the Comaro off-ramp. Consider utilising R59, South Rand Road, Verona Street, and Rifle Range Road,” Fihla advised.
