There is a huge traffic backlog on N1 highway in Laingsburg following a fatal head-on crash between two vehicles.
SABC reported that three people were killed when a car and a bakkie collided head-on just outside Laingsburg in the Karoo.
Traffic spokesperson, Jandre Bakker, says officials are on the scene of the crash.
He says the road is currently closed but traffic is being diverted via a rest area. The exact cause of the crash is being investigated.
SA Trucker received images from truck drivers showing a very long queue of trucks stacked at the scene.
