JOHANNESBURG - The N3 near Warden in Free State remains closed due to a crash on the route on Thursday morning.
Two trucks collided on the route between Johannesburg and Durban.
Both drivers have been taken to the nearest hospital.
The N3 Toll Concession’s spokesperson, Thania Dhoogra, warned motorists to expect continued delays.
"Both carriage ways of the N3 toll route are affected in the area and road users are advised to please delay travel if at all possible. Cleanup and recovery operations are underway, but these are being complicated by the highly flammable nature of the product, which was being transported."
