WATCH: The reason the Stormers were late for the game at Loftus Versfeld
Hundreds of people looted an overturned truck on the N1 North near Olifantsfontein on Saturday.
Traffic came to a standstill Saturday afternoon when a truck overturned and people came from all angles to help themselves to washing powder!
It was reported that a video surfaced online of people running to the truck to get washing powder.
