The two men featured in this video, Leo Prinsloo, the driver and a former member of the South African Police Service's Special Task Force, and guard Lloyd Mtombeni, who was on his fourth day at this job, both survived the ordeal uninjured. South African Trucker reported that Prinsloo was driving a Toyota Landcruiser CIT vehicle with bulletproof windows down the N4 road in Pretoria when a group of armed robbers opened fire on the vehicle.
