Collision on N3 highway between Marlboro and London roads causes traffic chaos for Germiston commuters
It is believed two people died in a crash on Monday night.
At approximately 11.49pm on Monday night (May 29) Netcare 911 paramedics responded to reports of a very serious collision on the N3 highway in the direction of Germiston, between the Marlboro and London road off-ramps.
Paramedics responded from their nearby base and were first to arrive on the scene.
A large fire had engulfed the scene and nobody was able to approach any of the vehicles due to the intense heat.
“Eyewitnesses alleged that a bakkie was travelling in the wrong direction on the highway and collided head-on with the truck.
“The fire department was called and firefighters arrived shortly afterwards,” said Nick Dollman, media liaison inland for Netcare Limited.
“There were no survivors and it is believed that at least two people perished in the crash and fire.”
The JMPD also attended the scene to investigate.
