Johannesburg - One person was killed in an accident between a truck and a car on the N12 near Soweto on Monday, Johannesburg metro police said.
The accident happened on the Golden Highway under the Aerodrome Road bridge, said metro spokesperson Superintendent Wayne Minnaar.
He said further details were not yet available.
"The highway has been closed. Motorists are advised to avoid the N12 and alternatively use the M1 North or the Colombia Avenue until the accident scene is cleared."
Minnaar also advised motorists not to use the Golden Highway as protesters were burning tires on that road.
"Motorist should use the N1 to avoid that," he said.
