A police media representative said the forensic crash unit was investigating and it would be several hours before the crash scene is cleared.
“It was initially reported as two trucks and four cars involved .. and it’s going to be while before the road is cleared,” they said.
Two-lanes have reopened and that has eased congestion, police said.
