A articulated truck went down a 50m embankment and miraculously BOTH driver and passenger survived!
Our professional team set to work recovering the horse, trailer and load successfully.
 
The N4 route between the Valencia link and Riverside Park is now open to traffic after being closed since 08:00 this morning.
The closure was to allow Van Wettens towing company to retrieve the articulated truck that was involved in a dramatic accident yesterday (April 24).
 
The truck went down a 50m embankment after the driver lost control at about 10:00. The driver and his passenger were trapped inside the truck’s mangled cabin.
 
The passenger was rescued two hours later and transported to Rob Ferreira hospital by Emer-G-Med while emergency crews worked until 18:00 to extract the driver who was severely pinned in the wreckage.
 
The driver sustained serious injuries to his legs and narrowly escaped on-site amputation. He was treated on the scene before also being transported to hospital.
 
Ropes and boards were used to pull the injured men up the embankment.
