GQEBERHA: A serious multi-vehicle accident involving at least five vehicles has occurred on the N2 highway near the Windfarm service station, with Emergency Medical Services (EMS) reporting multiple injuries at the scene. Motorists have been cautioned that the road is closed from Gqeberha towards Jeffreys Bay and alternative routes should be taken.
