In a clip uploaded by @bhekicosmo, the police van is in a deep hole next to a road. It is not clear how the vehicle got there, but one could presume that it lost control and went out of the way.
What was interesting was that the vehicle was carrying people at the back. One could presume that it was transporting crime suspects to the police station. However, bad luck happened, and the car lost control. The suspects were still locked inside the van even though it was in an accident. It didn't look like someone got injured.
