Update: Crocodile Bridge Gate is closed for day visitors today due to the quota being reached

But this looks like a lie, the reason the gate is closed is the truck that crashed -O-

I'm nervous driving over that bridge in a normal car. Can imagine it's not too easy in a huge truck! O**

It looks more like an animal transport truck than a Coca Cola one -O-

UPDATE: Truck successfully removed from bridge at Crocodile Bridge Gate
A truck went over the side of the bridge at Crocodile Bridge Gate on September 21. The road was inaccessible throughout the day, but the truck has been successfully removed.

The truck that went over the side of the bridge at Crocodile Bridge earlier today, has been removed.

After obstructing the bridge for the larger part of September 21, it was confirmed that the area is now cleared.

Van Wettens arrived on the scene at around 17:30, and managed to get the truck back onto the bridge. The truck was, however, only cleared at about 19:30.

After the incident occurred, the Crocodile Bridge Gate was closed for the day because clearing the scene was expected to take some time.

It's an "all kinds of goods" truck \O

It happened in the morning, if I don't error. I don't know who this Van Wettens is, but obviously nobody else was able to decide to call the right people to remove it. They ought to know it at Croc Bridge, it's not the first time that it happens. Africa time :O^

They are the local breakdown truck company, Lis!

Looks like they had to come via Malelane/Mjejane so as to be on the inside of the Park, so it would have taken time... :-0

Sorry, RP, but that's nonsense. If it entered at Malelane, it would be on the wrong side of the truck. The truck was leaving the park as far as I can see -O-
