Truck driver dies in horror crash

A truck driver lost his life in an accident on the N3 close to Bergville Plaza during the early parts of this morning (Thursday, November 13). 2 trucks were involved.

It is alleged that one of the trucks rear-ended the other.

Sharaj Ambulance Services, EMRS and ER24 responded to the scene. One of the drivers was trapped in the wreckage, and EMRS and Sharaj Ambulance Services had to use the jaws of life to get to the body. The driver was already dead at this stage.

RTI, N3TC and police were also on scene.

“It is so sad. We are praying for the family of the deceased,” said a concerned motorist who stopped to see if he could help in any way.
