Burning truck causes traffic jam on N2

TRAFFIC has been severely affected on the N2 near The Gateway Theatre of Shopping. According to Crisis Medical’s Kyle van Reenen, the backlog has been caused by a truck that caught fire. No injuries have been reported, he said.

The eTthekwini Fire Department as well as Metro Police are on scene. Motorists are urged to seek alternative routes.

Two months ago, a driver was lucky to escape injury after a fire broke out in his vehicle on the M4 near the M41 turn-off in uMhlanga Rocks.

Then, earlier in the year, traffic was brought to a standstill at Gateway off-ramp after a car caught alight.
