Durban ( Hillcrest ) St Helier Road Off Old Main Road
A truck driver escaped with only minor injuries after the truck he was travelling in left the M13 freeway and rolled down on to St Helier road this afternoon.
Emergency personnel arrived on the scene to find the truck completely blocking the road and Tar waste was all the scene. The driver who had climbed out of the vehicle had sustained very minor injuries and was stabilise by ambulance staff before transported to Life Crompton Hospital for further medical care.
It is believed that the truck was travelling down the M13 towards Hillcrest when the vehicle may have had a mechanical problem, causing the driver to lose control and crash through the Armco barrier and roll down the embankment.
Fire Department, VEMA and Metro Police were in attendance.
