KAROO NEWS - According to Jandre Bakker, head of communication for the Department of Transport and Public Works, the N1 was closed last night following a head-on crash between two heavy motor vehicles.
The accident happened between Beaufort-West and Leeu Gamka.
"Two people died in the one vehicle while teams are still going through the wreckage of the other one that burnt.
"The traffic is however slowly flowing in both directions as vehicles are directed past the scene on the sides of the road while the scene is cleared.
"One heavy motor vehicle was a vehicle carrier so the scene may take some time to fully clear.
"We ask motorists to remain patient in the area and to factor in additional travel time."
