Motorists Urged To Use Alternative Routes After M19 Crash

The Durban-bound lanes on the M19 between New Germany and Westville are closed as recovery teams are busy cleaning the road after a crash involving a truck.

The crash has caused traffic congestion.

Arrive Alive says the road is closed between Dunkeld Road and Mountbatten Drive. It has advised motorists to use alternative routes.

"Metro police are currently on the M19 eastbound dealing with a truck that has jack-knifed and caused a major traffic delay. For the safety of motorists, a diesel spillage company is currently on scene dealing with a mass diesel spillage. A heavy-duty tow truck is also in attendance and the roadway will be reopened shortly. Members of the public are asked to please comply with the instructions of the authorities who are currently on scene," says Marshall Security spokesperson Andreas Matheos.
