The collision that took place just before 5pm on Sunday left four people with moderate injuries, the North Coast Courier reported.

According to IPSS Medical Rescue’s Paul Herbst, the accident was reportedly caused when one of the cars pulled over to the emergency lane to view the crocodiles at Crocodile Creek.

“The vehicle that was behind the car rear-ended it before it swerved into the right, fast lane.

“Two other vehicles that were already in the fast lane collided into the car that swerved causing four cars to collide.”

The fast lane on the N2 has since been reopened after it was closed for almost 10 minutes.

The fast lane on the N2 South bound has since been reopened.

Traffic is still backed up from Crocodile Creek to the Ballito offramp.

Drivers were advised to use an alternate route.
