CCTV footage has recently emerged, showcasing a trucker’s audacious manoeuvre gone awry. The incident unfolded at the Goeiehoek T junction on the R42 highway between Vanderbijlpark and Heidelberg in Gauteng on Monday, June 19, 2023.
The shocking video, which has since gone viral, captures the heart-stopping moment when an International truck takes a sharp right turn from the R42 at the Goeiehoek T junction at a high speed, causing the trailer to flip.
As the footage rolls, the towering truck ominously approaches the fateful intersection, seemingly impervious to the imminent danger that awaits. In a display of sheer recklessness, the trucker brazenly veers to the right without even a hint of deceleration.
The result is nothing short of catastrophic, as the colossal vehicle’s wild trajectory violently shakes loose the attached trailer, catapulting it onto its side in a spine-chilling display of chaos.
