The Zambian truck, which was carrying a full load of acid, lost control after break failure and jack-knifed into one of the barriers.<\/p>\n

The driver narrowly escaped with his life and fortunately, wasn\u2019t seriously injured.<\/p>\n

The pass has been reduced to two single lanes to ease traffic build up.<\/p>\n

The truck will later be hauled out and motorists can expect the pass to be closed.<\/p>\n

\u2022Usage of alternative routes is advised.<\/p>\n
