Two people were left critical after a truck ended up on its side on Van der Hoff Road in the west of Pretoria on Saturday morning.

At around 03:00, the truck struck a barrier on Es’kia Mphahle Drive before landing on Van der Hoff Road, said Best Care spokesperson Xander Loubser.

“The truck driver and a passenger both suffered critical injuries and were transported to hospital by various emergency services,” he said.

No other vehicles were involved.

Van der Hoff Road heading into Hercules was closed for several hours after the accident.

Loubser said details surrounding the crash, including what caused it, were unclear at this stage.
