UPDATE: R21 could be closed for most of the day following pylon accident

The R21 between Olifantsfontein Road and Nellmapius Drive is still closed in both directions after a truck collided into a high voltage pylon earlier on Friday morning.

According to Ekurhuleni Metro Police spokesperson, Kobeli Mokheseng, Eskom is on site trying to figure out what to do to reset the pylon to its maximum height so trucks can also pass underneath once the road has been cleared.
