Four trucks were burned on the morning of 12 July 2023, at around 05:30 on the N2 between Piet Retief and Ermelo.
Three were burned out whilst one only burned in the cabin.
One passenger, a lady, sustained burned wounds on her feet as she was allegedly asleep in one of the trucks.
She was taken for medical help by the EMS vehicle.
It is alleged that people emerged from the grass and approached the trucks with firearms and instructed the drivers to get out or otherwise they will burn them inside.
The drivers then left and ran away.
The trucks were then set alight.
No one has been arrested up to so far and the police are continuing with investigation.
The motive for the attacks is unknown at the moments.
