Traffic on the N1 came to a standstill on Wednesday night after a serious crash involving a truck and a bus left the highway completely blocked. The accident took place on the N1 North at Amatava, the stretch between Mokopane and Polokwane, a hotspot that’s seen its fair share of heavy traffic issues.
According to Polokwane Weekly, the impact was severe enough to shut down the road for several hours as emergency crews worked to clear the wreckage and assist those involved. At this stage, the full extent of injuries is still unclear, and authorities on scene have not yet issued detailed information.
The crash caused major delays, with long queues forming in both directions as motorists tried to navigate the chaos. Traffic authorities urged drivers to divert to the R101 as an alternative route while recovery operations were underway.
