Two injured in freeway crash
Traffic was severely affected in both directions as a result of the accident.
TWO people have been injured, one seriously, after a truck drove into a bakkie on the N2 north-bound near Westwood Mall around 11am today (3 February).
A truck and a bakkie collided on the north-bound carriageway. It is alleged that the bakkie was broken down in the emergency lane when the truck crashed into it.
