After numerous reports came in over the weekend pertaining to negligent and downright shocking driving from truck drivers on NZKN roads—within the past 24 hours the already dangerous R34 added two more truck-related accidents to its lengthy tally.
On Monday morning, 16 May 2022, traffic flow on the R34 towards Melmoth from Vryheid was hampered after a truck ploughed into the back of the truck in front of it.
While no injuries were reported, the RTI and emergency personnel attended to the scene, ensuring the road was cleared.
