Extremely strong winds have disrupted traffic between Paarl and Worcester after a heavy duty truck was blown over just outside of the Huguenot Tunnel on Monday morning.
The truck, which was blown over on the Paarl side of the tunnel, created havoc as long weekend holiday makers make their way home, Western Cape traffic chief Kenny Africa told News24.
Africa said at about midday officials were trying to recover the truck.
He said the wind speed is also being monitored to ascertain if it was safe for trucks to use the Huguenot toll road. .
The tunnel was later closed in both directions for a short period but has since been reopened for light motor vehicles only.
“Heavy vehicles need to go over Du Toitskloof Pass due to strong winds,” Africa said.
