An accident occurred on the N1 near Touws River on Tuesday evening.

It is alleged that a tanker truck overturned and obstructed traffic.

Western Cape Traffic Chief Kenny Africa said officials are still busy offloading the petrol into another vehicle.

The road had to be closed yesterday and today part of the road has been reopened and motorists are advised to use alternative routes.

Africa said the cause of the accident is not known and the police are investigating.

He added that there are stop and go signs in that area for about 30 km and urged motorists to use alternative routes for now and the road will be re-opened again once the wreckage has been cleared.
