"We were tipped-off about the accident by several motorists travelling on the same route. Soon after, reaction officers and paramedics made their way to the scene but noted no injuries," said Balram.
Naturally, South Africans were flabbergasted by the incident and made sure to take the mickey out of the poor truck driver at its centre. At the same time, many others argued that the insurance, although it could cost an arm and a leg, would come through for the supercar owner.

"But if it was a Polo they'd say, 'Truck crashes with a small vehicle'. Now because it's Lamborghini you mentioned all the details. Ngiyakuvuma admin."
@Sindiswa Mnisi said:
"Ok ok ok don't panic all of you, I'm here and just got back from the Mediclinic and I'm okay, no injuries and my insurance will pay for my damaged Gallie (I call her that)."
@Bheki Maseko added:
"I think it's the other way round; the Lambo crashed into a truck."
Siyaya driver crashes into R4m Lamborghini Urus
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that the driver of a Siyaya minibus taxi would not have been blamed for wishing to be swallowed into the ground whole after he crashed into a multi-million rand Lamborghini Urus on the streets of Sandton.
The Urus is punted as the world's first super sport utility vehicle, with the experience of driving it offering the ultimate fusion of luxury, comfort, sportiness and performance.
It's little wonder the incomparable Italian exotic car makes it the single most prized possession for anyone lucky enough to own one. Pictures of an accident damaged Urus, including one from @ujudas_iscariot, made the rounds on Twitter.
"If you think you're having a bad day omunye ushayise i-Urus nge Siyaya," the tweet was captioned.
