A construction worker has died after he was struck by a truck on the N3 highway near the Camperdown off ramp.
The cause of the incident is unclear at this stage, but when ER24 paramedics arrived at the scene they found the man with various fatal injuries. He was later declared dead at the scene by another ambulance service.
Shortly after the initial incident a secondary collision occurred on the opposite side of the highway. Fortunately none of the eight occupants in the two vehicles involved in the collision sustained any injuries.
Traffic in both directions of the highway was affected while various Emergency Medical Services attended the scene. Local law enforcement officials were at the scene and will be investigating the incident further.
