Motorists face a lengthy commute home as two car crashes on Graham Farmer Freeway cause traffic mayhem on Tuesday afternoon.
Main Roads have warned motorists to drive with extreme caution and expect heavy congestion after two separate crashes happened within minutes and metres of each other.
Just before 5pm a car crashed on Graham Farmer Freeway in the Northbridge tunnel heading east, blocking the left lane of traffic.
At about the same time, another vehicle crashed on the freeway near the East Parade exit.
As a result, the right-turning lane is banked up, and traffic is heavy on approach.
Breakdowns on Kwinana Freeway in South Perth and Como are also contributing to peak hour chaos.
Traffic from South Terrace back to Canning Highway is heavy, with the right lane blocked.
The weather could also impact drivers’ journey home as the Bureau of Meteorology forecasts 70 per cent chance of rain and a shower or two for the rest of Tuesday.
