A seriously injured man was evacuated to hospital by helicopter on Monday morning following an accident on the N2 outside East London.
Several other people sustained lesser injuries.
The accident happened in a section of the N2 between Cintsa and the city which was in a stop go footing because of road works in the area.
AlgoaFM News has learned that the accident could have been caused by a Cash in transit vehicle being inadvertently let through the stop-go and colliding with on-coming traffic.
The accident led to a severe back-up in traffic with motorists being stranded on both sides of the stop-go area.
