#TruckAttacks | R59 closed in Randvaal following burning of trucks overnight

Two trucks were burned on the R59 highway between R550 Randvaal and Kliprivier off ramps on Thursday night just before midnight.

One of the drivers whose truck was torched told SA Trucker that five armed men forced him to stop as he approached the R59 offramp.

He saw lights and at first thought it might be an accident. The driver and assistant managed to run away and hide in the bush.
