Attempted overtake leads to collision

FOUR people narrowly escaped injury in an early morning ‘altercation’ with a truck on the Vryheid – Pongola road recently.

Witnesses at the scene reported that the driver of the vehicle attempted to overtake the truck on a semi barrier line as it was turning, resulting in a collision with the side of the truck. The four occupants of the vehicle miraculously sustained only minor injuries.

“A warning and a reminder to all motorists when sharing the road with a truck,” says JVS Towing’s Chris Marais, “If you can’t see the truck’s mirrors, the truck driver can’t see you.”
