“The truck lost control during the rain and as I tried to steer it back to the road, my right front wheel stepped onto the yellow line and overturned,” Thabo Nyathi told the Herald.
According to a senior police official at the scene the occupants laid on the side of the road for quite some time because the nearest police station is 18km away.
The truck traveling from Nelspruit, was en-route to Tzaneen for deliveries.
No one sustained serious injuries.
