3 Sep 2017, Pietermaritzburg: Two people, believed to be in their forties, were trapped for over two hours when the truck they were traveling in overturned on the R617 in Boston, Pietermaritzburg. Shortly before 7am, paramedics from ER24 and the local fire department arrived on the scene. They found the truck and trailer overturned on the side of the road.

The cabin of the truck was crushed and both men were trapped inside of it. According to the men, the incident occurred about an hour before someone came across the incident.
