A truck driver was seriously injured in a crash on the N3 near the Dasville interchange in Grootvlei early on Tuesday morning.
According to sources at the scene, two trucks were travelling Durban-bound when one reportedly rear-ended the other, causing it to veer off the road.
The impact was so severe that the rear-ending truck lost control and landed off the roadway.
The second truck remains on the N3, blocking lanes and causing significant delays for Durban-bound traffic.
Emergency services responded swiftly, and the injured driver was stabilised on scene before being rushed to a nearby hospital with serious injuries.
Authorities have since taken over the scene, working to clear the wreckage and clean the road surface to restore traffic flow.
