WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

One man was arrested after a hijacked truck hit a police car before overturning at the Buccleuch interchange on Friday, Johannesburg police said.

Spokesperson Inspector Julie Claassen said the truck was hijacked on the M1 at the Grayston offramp around 3.30am.

“The suspects pulled the driver out of truck and drove off. Police saw what was happening and called for back-up.”

Claassen said ten police cars were involved in the chase.

She said the hijackers tried to push one of the police vehicles off the road and during the attempt, drove into a police vehicle with three occupants.

Another car was also bumped.

The police car sustained severe side and frontal damage.

Claassen said police in another vehicle started shooting at the wheels of the truck and it overturned at the Buccleuch interchange.

“A 33-year-old man was arrested and police are still searching for the other man who is still at large.”

The truck was transporting food valued at R200 000 to a Woolworths branch in Benmore.

Netcare 911 spokesperson Nick Dollman said the three injured police officers were taken to Sunninghill hospital.

“Two were in a serious condition and the driver who sustained critical head and chest injuries was placed on to emergency life support.”

The split from the M1 to the N3 towards Germiston was closed and traffic in the area was severely affected. – Sapa
