There are major delays on the South Eastern Freeway following multiple vehicle breakdowns during the evening commute on Wednesday.
Traffic heading towards Mount Barker has been reduced to a snail’s pace between the tollgate and Crafers.

A two-car crash on the outbound lane just before Mount Osmond ramp has completely shut down the left hand lane, with multiple ambulances in attendances.
Further along the freeway, two trucks have also broken down in between the Heyson Tunnels and the Crafers exit.

SA Police says tows are currently being organised.
