"Bathong and then?"

The 14-second clip shows a driver in another car filming a bakkie seemingly with a load, including a bed mattress, veering off the road.

Still travelling at speed, and with the bonnet of the unroadworthy vehicle covering the windshield, the driver loses sight of the roadway as it hits the verge between the road's tar surface and a grass island on an SA highway.

The car then smashes into a tree, ending the buffoonery.

Once the scenes made their way to social media, it was no surprise that the scenes stunned all who saw them.

In the nearly 14 hours since the video was posted, the clip clocked over 685,000 hits and attracted 3900 likes, 1300 reposts and 1400 bookmarks.
