Concerned citizens informed the police of a truck parked on the highway, when they went to investigate they found the truck driver was not well and called paramedics.

Unfortunately when the paramedics arrived a few minutes later the man had passed on.

Paramedics confirmed the man had suffered a heart attack and pronounced him dead on the scene.

Buys was a well known trucker in the industry and his death has robbed many of a friend and tutor.

What makes Buys’ death more painful is that he died on his birthday.
