“It is believed the car came across the centre median and collided with the oncoming truck on the south-bound lane,” said Herbst.
“The truck was carrying LPG gas. The road will be closed for probably the next six hours while the gas is being decanted.”
The driver of the car was already deceased when paramedics arrived.
