Martin Jeffrey of Emer-G-Med confirmed the incident.

“On arrival, crews found that a single-cab Toyota Hilux veered off the roadway and collided with a stationary truck at high speed (allegedly, based on the extent of the damage).

“The driver of the bakkie was a Mozambican man, who was severely entrapped and had succumbed to his fatal injuries,” Jeffrey explained. The truck driver survived without any severe injuries.
