Our support truck crashed due to a brake failure.   Luckily, no one was hurt.  Normally, people take the truck to camp if they can't ride.  South Africa just past a law that foreign registered vehicles can't carry passengers.  TDA had to hire a van to take the people that can't ride.  Imagine if those people were on the truck.  The truck was completly flipped on its back.  The cabin was crushed.  There were bikes on that truck as well.  They didn't fare so well.  A really sad day.
