An 11-year old girl and her father miraculously survived a freak accident which saw a construction truck collapse on top of their vehicle.
The freak accident took place in Paarl last week, on the R301 to Franschoek, and despite how shocking the footage is, both occupants of the vehicle escape.
While the little girl was trapped inside the vehicle for hours, her father managed to escape with just minor head injuries and a few scratches.
Emergency responders worked quickly to shift the 20-tonne truck off the vehicle, and after 2 painstaking hours, the truck lifted and the girl freed.
The girl was rushed to hospital and it has been reported she will make a full recovery.
An investigation into the freak accident is underway.
