A truck driver and his crew were rushed to hospital after their truck overturned on Paul Kruger Highway just after 14:00 on July 29.
Speaking on the scene of the accident, Springs police spokesperson Capt Johannes Ramphora said the truck overturned just after it had turned onto the highway from Fourth Avenue.
Ramphora said it appeared the weight of the truck, which was carrying meat, contributed to it overturning.

“We arrived just in time to prevent the community from looting the truck and had to ask the tow truck driver to block the door of the truck for us,” said Ramphora.
The sector five Springs CPF was also on scene and cordoned off the scene to redirect traffic.
The truck was reportedly carrying meat for a company in Benoni that dispatched another truck to carry the load.
There were no other vehicles involved in the accident.
