Updated Truckers and motorists, urgent warning! The N11 near Kraanspoort in Mpumalanga has been closed following a sulphur spillage, reported at around 20h00 on Thursday night.
The bags of sulphur fell off a truck, creating a dangerous situation on the road.
A video has surfaced showing the truck involved, with footage capturing where the sulphur bags fell.
In the video, portions of the substance can be seen igniting, which poses a significant risk to motorists.
While sulphur itself is not flammable, it reacts violently with water, creating intense heat that can ignite surrounding materials like fuel or oil.
Authorities have closed the road for safety, and motorists are strongly urged to avoid the area and use alternative routes.
