The N1 South highway has been closed off to traffic after a bus caught fire.
It is understood the incident happened on Wednesday, just off the Gordan Road offramp near the Maraisburg turnoff.
The Citizen journalist Narissa Subramoney is currently on the scene.
“There is a vehicle on fire at the moment, we are waiting for the fire brigade to get to the scene. They have opened one lane to the traffic. The bus is still on fire. The paramedic on scene told me only one person was in the bus which is the driver but he escaped unharmed,” she said.
“It seem the tyres on the vehicle are exploding, we can still hear explosions, but due to the backup of traffic, this is one of the reasons that one lane has been opened to allow traffic to pass through,” Subramoney said.
Subramoney said emergency services had arrived on scene.
