Motorists travelling between Ermelo and Sheepmoor are urged to exercise extreme caution following a fatal accident involving a truck and two light vehicles on the N2.

One person has thus far been confirmed dead, while authorities have not yet released further details.

Traffic is currently moving slowly under official control, with stop-and-go measures in place.

Vehicles are being diverted onto the shoulder in some sections, and motorists are advised to follow all instructions from officials on the scene.

An oil spillage has further complicated conditions, with clean-up operations underway and delays expected to continue.
