Motorists travelling on the N1 between Polokwane and Mokopane this Thursday morning are urged to drive with extreme caution following two serious crashes reported in the area.
According to early reports, both crashes occurred south of Polokwane under heavy rain and hailstorm conditions.
Emergency services are currently on scene, with delays and lane restrictions expected as recovery operations continue.
The road surface is dangerously slippery due to the hailstorm that hit the region earlier this morning. Visibility remains poor, making conditions treacherous for drivers.
Authorities are appealing to all motorists to:
– Reduce speed
– Increase following distances
– Keep headlights on
– Avoid sudden manoeuvres and overtaking
If you’re heading towards Mokopane or travelling south on the N1, be warned – conditions are not ideal, and crash scenes are still active.
Drive safe, truckers and motorists alike – rather be late than never.
