A truck carrying a load of wood lost control and came to rest within the marshes around 03:00.<\/p>\n

A passing motorist who stopped to look at the accident was then rear ended and the vehicle flipped at around 07:00.
\nTraffic came to a standstill as a recovery of the vehicles is taking place.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Because of the truck’s location, the lanes will have to be closed for retrieval and N4 TRAC teams are planning a detour to ease traffic.<\/p>\n

It is unknown at this point when the road will be open for use again.<\/p>\n
