The two truck crash happened earlier on Sunday morning causing the closure of the road at Piekenierskloofpas.

Cargo from the two trucks is sprewn all over the highway hindering safe passage for all vehicles.

All road users are requested to use the alternative routes:

  • From Cape Town on N7 use the Paleisheuwel turn off
  • From Clanwilliam use the Marcuskraal turn off
  • Please do not drive to the accident scene, you will be stuck there for a long time. And this put extra pressure on the first responders.

    We trust that we can count on your cooperation.
