Trucks with very high loads are a common sight on the N4 and N1 highways towards Lebombo and Beitbridge borders respectively. Especially towards the end of the year when immigrants embark on their yearly visits back to their countries.
Earlier today at Lebombo border post, one such truck fell on its side after the load shifted one side, and a witness had it all captured on video.
In the first video, the truck is parked on the road with the load heavily shifted to its left-hand side, a cop arrives and warns everyone to move away from the imminent danger.
