CAPE TOWN<\/strong> – A truck driver escaped serious injuries when the container truck he was driving overturned on the N1 R300 off-ramp in Belville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driving in the direction of Paarl, the incident occurred at approximately 21:25 on Friday 30 January, when the driver lost control of his vehicle, causing it to overturn as he entered the off-ramp.
