Motorists travelling to Pretoria are urged to use alternative routes through Midrand after a truck overtuned on the N1 north at the Samrand offramp early this morning.
Three lanes have been closed and traffic is severly backed up.
Gauteng Traffic Police spokesperson Obed Sibasa says officials expect the highway to remain partially closed for a couple of hours.
“We are appealing to motorists to be patient and considerate as we deal with the challenge. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes when travelling to Pretoria.”
No fatalities and no injuries were reported.
