Jamieson added that at this stage, the events leading up to the accident are unknown.
He urged motorists to avoid using the N2 as traffic has been severely affected from as far back as the Queen Nandi Drive intersection (northbound).
This is the second accident in two days involving a heavy-duty truck.
On Monday, a truck crashed into more than 45 vehicles on the M41 near uMhlanga and left 16 people injured.
