Last year it was tarven shootings,Floods,now it's trucks damaging the bridges,what's going in this Ramaphosa's administration that keeps increasing VAT,Interest rate,rapo rate,unemployment, poverty, fuel,cost of living, political stupidity etc

Are the drivers getting heart attacks or strokes while they are driving ?

Trucks should be regulated by government some of these accidents would be avoided

Whats happening ?

This is the results of employed illegal immigrants, in the name of cheap labour.

Safety terms they usually say with high amount of incidences and HPIs without fatalities (diesel, petrol and sulphuric acid truck, & others) we due a big one. Hope we spared though since we've already had the Boksburg incident & encouraging to c some learnings applied from that..

What is going on with truck drivers nowadays do they smoke or drink something before they hit the road no enough is enough

Apparently owned by the same company.

Is it just me wondering from this picture where this guy went wrong to have crashed like this... Glad for no fatalities but still

The Intelligence has to have a closer look at these unfortunate incidents. We can't be having mobile bombs all over in our streets. Who is the real target? Government or Civilians? Just my lame observations.

I think some ppl wanna do fuel shedding now. Why all of a sudden these tanks are causing trouble and deaths

I hope people will think about the Boksburg tanker and stay very far from the petrol tanker that crashed into the bridge at N12/ Kliprivier Drive.

🤞 hope the driver is ok

I was scared to death when passing the truck

Petrol ⛽️ bomb 💣 syndicate these ones 😮‍💨

Baphela bantu Nkosyam

When these things happen, it's like an outbreak, we had tipper trucks, pit bulls, now tankers, what's happening !

These Petrol tankers want to finish us yooh

tanker companies are a wild west.

Someone is sabotaging this things

It's not pitbulls anymore, it's petrol takers killing people.

False flag operation by the company!

🙆🏽‍♀️
