An accident on the N12 earlier has caused heavy traffic delays. Officials are working to clear the scene, but congestion remains severe. Dense fog was reported on the N12 earlier this morning.

This significantly reduces visibility, making driving conditions treacherous. Please make use of alternative routes if possible.

Local authorities have urged motorists to exercise extreme caution when travelling on the N12, particularly near the s-bends and Ogies off-ramp, where fog tends to be the thickest.

Drivers are advised to reduce speed, use fog lights, and maintain a safe following distance to prevent collisions.

With winter approaching, fog-related accidents may become even more frequent, raising concerns about road safety.
