A driver has been killed after a light motor vehicle and a articulated truck collided on the N2 near to the Kingsway off ramp this morning.
ER24 paramedics, who were on route to another medical emergency, came across the accidents which happen on the N2 south bound. The articulated truck that was carrying sugar cane was across the three lanes of the freeway and half way down the embankment. The light motor vehicle was found in the centre medium with extensive damage to the whole vehicle.
The driver of the light motor vehicle was found inside the car entrapped. ER24 paramedics assessed him and found that he had already succumbed to his injuries as he had suffered severe traumatic injuries. The driver of the truck was unharmed in the accident.
It is believed that the accident occurred on the N2 north bound and came across the centre medium and onto the oncoming traffic. The freeway was closed to motorist until the necessary authorities had investigated the scene.
