Police will today begin a salvage operation to collect two trucks from a gully after they collided and crashed through a steel railing.

Police say the vehicles fell 10 metres into the gully.
“Police with the assistance of heavy vehicle salvage personnel, will be conducting a salvage operation of the two vehicles this morning…,” a police statement reads.
