Naquita Whittles took to Facebook to share an amazing story about her horrible experience on the N2.

She was involved in a hit and run with a truck and thought that she'd never be able to get the drivers details for an insurance claim.

However, that was when Sanele from Sanele's Transport appeared and managed to get the truck driver to stop so that Naquita could get his details.

Naquita's tale in full

"Just want to send a huge thank you and appreciation to Sanele from Sanele's Transport for all your assistance this afternoon during the crazy traffic on the N2.

What would have resulted in a hit and run from a speeding trucker but didn't due to Sanele's quick reaction and ensuring the truck eventually stopped so details could be exchanged!

Not many people would have stopped to help, it was home time for most and people just wanna get home.

But Sanele ensured the driver gave us all details, he made sure all the ladies in the car were safe and only left once everything was sorted so we could all be on our way.

Thank you so much Sanele, you are a man of honor and all us ladies are extremely grateful for your help this afternoon! "
