A truck driver has been killed in a head-on collision with another truck on the N2 under the Makhanda/Port Alfred Bridge.

Provincial Traffic Department spokesperson Charles Bramwell says the two trucks collided shortly before 7 am on Tuesday.

The driver of the other truck was rushed to hospital with serious injuries.

Bramwell says officials are on the scene and traffic is being diverted onto the N2 on-ramp and off-ramp of the bridge.

Motorists are advised to rather use the R72 and proceed with caution.
