According to reports, two trucks collided head-on and rear-end.

Following further investigation, the officers learned from the driver of the truck in front that the two trucks were travelling in the same lane toward JHB.

As a result, the one in the back crashed with the one in front, and they both became locked together.

Emergency services were called to the scene, and upon arrival, they found that the driver of the truck in the back was found unconscious in the driver’s seat and was later declared dead by paramedics.
