South Africa: Ongoing road closure along N14 disrupting traffic between Pretoria and Johannesburg, early March 12

A large accident involving multiple vehicles prompted authorities to close the N14 highway in Centurion, between Pretoria (Tshwane) and Johannesburg, early March 12. A truck reportedly collided with at least 18 other vehicles near the R55 interchange; casualty figures are unavailable. Emergency services are clearing the highway; it is unclear how long the roadway will be closed.

Increased security is likely in the coming hours. The closure of a major arterial route connecting Pretoria, Johannesburg, and Krugersdorp will likely lead to increased travel time for passenger and freight vehicles.
