A man met a watery death after he accidentally reversed a truck he was offloading from a ship into the Durban harbour on Tuesday.

National police spokesperson Lt-Col Katlego Mogale told TimesLIVE that incident occurred in the early morning.

“It is alleged that a few hours ago, workers were removing a vehicle from the vessel and as the driver reversed, he accidentally drove into water and drowned.”
