The truck had crashed near the left lane on the Johannesburg-bound carriageway near Howick, causing a diesel spillage and trapping two occupants.

Midlands EMS's Derrick Banks says the truck driver sustained serious injuries. 

"Both the driver and passenger were mechanically entrapped. They were able to be freed from the accident. The truck driver sustained mostly chest and head injuries - he was taken to a nearby hospital and is now in a stable condition.  

Banks says a woman sustained neck and bank injuries, and had multiple cuts.

"She was stabilised on scene - and taken to Northdale Hospital. She is also in a stable condition."

The road has since been reopened to traffic.
