A truck, loaded with pears and apples, has overturned on the N1 at Ventersburg in the Free State.

Police spokesperson in the Free State, Stephen Thakeng, tells OFM News that the truck driver allegedly lost control and it overturned at Ventersburg towards Kroonstad. Thakeng says looters helped themselves to the cargo of fruit. He says the police were called to intervene and control the looting crowd.

According to Thakeng, one side of the road was used to control the flow of the traffic. He says no one was arrested and the traffic officers and police were on the scene to ensure that the order is maintained. He added that the driver did not sustain any injuries.

Thakeng cautioned motorists to reduce speed when they reach Ventersburg.
