Truck hazardously blocks Van Dyksdrift Road
A very dangerous situation was created by protesters after they parked a low-bed truck across the Van Dyksdrift Road near the N4 in the dense fog this morning.
The stationary truck was reported around 05:00, potentially endangering the lives of commuters who make use of the route.
First responders to the scene battled to remove the truck after they noticed that the keys were thrown away.
Fortunately, the truck was towed away before disaster struck and no injuries were sustained.
The protesters were not present at the location at the time.
