"Emergency services are on the scene with multiple patients. The patient count is under way and I will provide further updates. So far there are six patients that have been declared dead, but there could be more.

"The scene is unfolding as the emergency services are still working to get more details as well as ensuring further treatment and management of the scene," he said.

Motorists have been urged to avoid the area and use alternative roads as the road is closed at the N4 and Rosslyn road.
