Lanes turning right into Pretoria Road from CR Swart Drive were affected. The metro police were out in full force to direct traffic.
As the scene was cleared and traffic was allowed to flow free again according to the traffic lights, two taxis, travelling on Pretoria Road towards Birchleigh, decided to enter the intersection against the red light. They were both stopped by a metro police officer and had to reverse back.
Impatient drivers who were stuck in the traffic could not stay off their hooters, causing quite a commotion. The scene was cleared around 7.30pm.
