A serious multi-vehicle collision occurred on the N4 highway in Crocodile Gorge, between KaNyamazane and Matsulu, on August 27, 2025. The incident took place at kilometer 79+400 westbound, leading to the closure of the road in both directions.
The accident involved an articulated truck, a light delivery vehicle (commonly known as a bakkie), and a light-motor vehicle. As a result, 20 passengers sustained injuries, with one 10-year-old passenger reported in critical but stable condition. One passenger remained trapped in the bakkie following the crash.
Emergency services, including teams from Emer-G-Med, responded to the scene to assist the injured and conduct recovery operations. Authorities have advised motorists to expect delays and use alternative routes while the road remains temporarily closed.
