The attack happens while another truck was approaching from the opposite side making it difficulty for him to notice the attackers in time.

The truck crosses the road and ploughs through road side barriers.

It narrowly misses a standalone toilet at a house nearby before stopping a few metres from the house.

Recently, three trucks were burned in the same vicinity by protesters. It is not known at this stage if the attack was related to the ongoing protests.

SA Trucker could not immediately get information on the condition of the driver.
