Two traffic officers were seriously injured when they were struck by a taxi while on duty a few metres from the Mooi River Toll Plaza on the N3 in KwaZulu-Natal on Friday.
Busy traffic conditions are being experienced on the N3 toll route this week, with highs of between 1,000 and 1,900 vehicles per hour travelling northbound towards Gauteng.
N3 Toll Concession s Thania Dhoogra said while poor visibility and unfavourable conditions have contributed to some of the accidents, driver behaviour remains a primary factor.
