A truck driver is in hot water after he crashed his heavy-duty vehicle into a stationary police van on the N2 between Pongola and Piet Retief in northern KwaZulu-Natal.
A SA Trucker report said police officers were conducting a routine traffic check when the incident occurred on Monday.
“The police van was parked on the side of the road conducting a routine stop-and-search when the incident occurred
“The driver was reportedly taken in for questioning,” the report said.
Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Pongola residents have been protesting against the movement of heavy-duty vehicles after a crash in the area last year killed 18 children, a teacher’s assistant and a bakkie driver.
The community closed the road for trucks and demanded authorities monitor their movements in the town.
