Truck driver crosses rapid waters with passengers on board and barely makes it across, video gives SA anxiety

Another driver risked life and limb in a river crossing that left peeps online on of their seats. According to Briefly News, a truck driver performed a daring stunt by attempting a river crossing while the waters were high. The vehicle making the crossing was filled with passengers, making the situation even direr.

The daring driver managed to make it across to the river bank, but Saffas were thoroughly unimpressed, with some calling for legal action against him.

Peeps on Facebook showed utter dismay at the driver of the truck, stating that his reckless behaviour could have resulted in tragedy. While many were not impressed by the driver's stunt, some offered opposing views.
