Transporters using the N3 are advised to contact the N3 Toll Concession (N3TC) company about the status of the highway in the vicinity of Van Reenen’s south of Harrismith.
This after it was reported earlier this morning that the route had been closed in both directions following a serious truck accident.
According to information received by the Transit Assistance Bureau, an articulated truck collided with the back of another rig, causing both trucks to catch fire.
N3TC has advised all users of the N3 to avoid the area until further notice.
