According to JMPD the truck was carrying scrap metal, which was then strewn across the N1 in Midrand following the crash.
As truck drivers continue to down tools, several vehicles were torched on national highways in the early hours of Wednesday 8 July.
During a meeting of NatJOINTS and the government Task Team, SAPS were briefed on how to police the ongoing truck driver protest.
Despite a court interdict warning against a national protest, truck drivers have persisted in getting their point across.
As residents of KwaMsane protest the lack of water being supplied to their town, some members of the group petrol bombed a truck.
The trucks had reportedly been transporting medical supplies, which were delivered while drivers were placed in quarantine.
