The incident unfolded on the R81 in the Giyani area, Limpopo, leaving a trail of destruction and prompting concerns about road safety.
Despite repeated warnings for motorists to exercise caution around trucks due to blind spots and slower reaction times, some continue to take unnecessary risks.
The consequences of such actions are evident in the footage, where a bakkie can be seen cutting in front of a truck, leading to a catastrophic collision.
The dashcam footage reveals the truck forcefully pushing the bakkie along for several meters before coming to a halt.
The severity of the impact raises concerns about potential casualties, although no specific information has been provided at this time.
