A crash on Kwinana Freeway southbound is causing peak hour mayhem for commuters heading home on Thursday afternoon.

The crash occurred on a busy stretch of Kwinana Freeway in Salter Point just before Mount Henry Bridge and was reported by Main Roads at 3.55pm.

The left lane was blocked by the crash, which caused heavy congestion during peak hour.

The crash has since been cleared, but traffic remains slow on approach.

Further east, a truck breakdown is also wreaking havoc for motorists travelling along Tonkin Highway northbound in Wattle Grove.
