The driver of this bakkie miraculously escaped with his life and walked away from the wreckage of what used to be his Toyota Hilux bakkie. The accident happened about 35km outside of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) on the N1 south on Tuesday evening. According to information provided, the man was driving in a southerly direction when he drove into the back of a small truck carrying a load of scrap metal. The impact of the collision caused the bakkie to overturn and skid across the road. The truck swerved off the road, losing most of its load. Rescue personnel treated the driver of the bakkie on the scene for cuts and bruises that he sustained to his head and face.
