Horror crash at N1 Gordon Road onramp
Motorists are warned to steer clear of the N1 at Gordon Road.
Both lanes of the N1 at Gordon Road have been closed due to a serious accident that occurred earlier this morning, October 26 resulting in multiple injuries and potential fatalities.
According to a press statement by the Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD), the accident occurred after a truck travelling along the N1North lost control, veering across the centre meridian, colliding with other vehicles, and eventually ending up on its side on the N1South.
Two other vehicles were also involved in the accident.
At the time the Roodepoort Record visited the scene, traffic was severely backed up in both directions on the N1, as well as on Gordon Road, with motorists stuck on the onramp, unable to get onto, or off the highway.
The truck’s load was scattered across both lanes of the highway and at least one vehicle appeared to be crushed by the truck.
The Record has approached JMPD spokesperson Xolani Fihla for further details, which will be added when received.
