Fifth truck in a week tips over

A truck tipped over on the R554 heading to KwaThema on Monday at noon.

The truck driver was unharmed, but the same cannot be said for the truck.

This is the fifth truck in a week that has tipped over at that exact spot as it is a very sharp bend in the road.

A tow truck was already on scene to transport the truck to a holding place in Jet Park when the Addie arrived on scene.

Most members of the public know of this sharp turn in the road as there have been many accidents on this particular spot, yet it remains a graveyard for trucks.

These large, heavy vehicles cannot make this turn at high speeds.

Truck drivers are advised to take more care when driving along the road and be cautious not to take turns at speed.
