Mathios confirmed that police are still on scene and are monitoring the situation.
Traffic is currently still being affected on the southbound carriageway, due to a secondary accident.
“The vehicle had arrived to assist the fire department and had fallen on its side after swerving to avoid an accident,” he said.
Rubbernecking on the northbound carriageway was also creating some backlog.
