UMHLANGA, South Africa (Reuters) - Nearly 50 vehicles lay strewn across a motorway near the South African town of Umhlanga in KwaZulu-Natal province on Monday, after a truck caused a massive pile-up during morning traffic.

There were no immediate reports of deaths from the scene of the accident, but pictures and video of trashed cars made the road look like a junk yard.
