Resourceful Truck Drivers Use Coke to Extinguish Burning Truck on N1

In a remarkable display of quick thinking and resourcefulness, a group of truck drivers proved that sometimes unconventional methods can be the key to saving the day.

Rather than looting, which is a common sight on our roads, these heroes were on a mission to rescue a burning truck, and their secret weapon? Coca-Cola.

At the scene, bystanders might have initially misunderstood the situation, assuming the truck drivers were helping themselves to the cargo.

However, their true intention was to safeguard the truck from destruction.

In an extraordinary turn of events, they decided to unload the shipment of Coca-Cola from the trailer and employ it as a fire-fighting agent, battling the flames two litres at a time.

A video captured by one of the truckers reveals their ingenious efforts.

Some team members are seen using traditional fire extinguishers, while others grab 2-litre bottles from the pallets the truck was transporting, using them to douse the flames effectively.

In what can only be described as a “Mission Possible,” these dedicated truckers succeeded in extinguishing the fire, emerging as heroes who not only saved the precious cargo but also rescued the truck itself.

A resounding well done to these exceptional individuals for their quick and creative response to a challenging situation.
