Truck Accident on Road Towards Victoria Bay

Please be advised that there has been a truck accident on the road towards Victoria Bay, near the train bridge. Currently, only a single lane is open, with a stop-and-go traffic management system in place. Fire and Public Authority (PA) Traffic Services are on scene and working to clear the road.
