The City of Cape Town traffic officials are currently dealing with an accident along the Nelson Mandela Boulevard.

Two people were injured in an accident on Nelson Mandela Bay Boulevard in Cape Town on Thursday evening after a MyCiTi bus landed on top of a vehicle, crushing it.

"All outgoing lanes on Nelson Mandela Boulevard are closed, as the bus is across all lanes. Traffic outbound diverted onto Melbourne Road, and motorists are urged to use this route as an alternative," said traffic spokesperson Maxine Jordaan.

Two people were rushed to hospital with injuries.

The traffic department said it would take some time before the scene was completely cleared and safe to open.
