WATCH: The N12 between Emalahleni and Delmas currently closed

Motorists travelling between Emalahleni and Delmas, are advised that the N12 Road between Emalahleni and Delmas is closed this morning (May 28) due to a multiple-vehicle pile-up.

It is believed that it is largely caused by prevailing misty conditions on the road.

The road in Emalahleni is closed at the N4 and N12 split, therefore motorists who are travelling from Middelburg to Johannesburg are advised to proceed with the N4 and use the R555 until they reach Balmoral where they can then rejoin the N12.

Motorists driving from Delmas are advised to take the R555 from Ogies and join the N4 in Emalahleni.

Officials and emergency personnel are on the scene to redirect motorists. It is not clear how many vehicles are involved and the nature and types of crashes or injuries if there are any at this stage.

It is not clear how long the road will be closed.
