An interlink truck that was hijacked near Heidelberg is carrying a highly toxic load that looks like coffee, police said yesterday.

The truck was hijacked Friday night on the Spook Bridge that crosses the N3 highway and was last seen heading towards Vosloorus, provincial police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Katlego Mogale said.

The driver was cornered and forced to leave his cab at gunpoint.

The load was about to be delivered to a nearby mine and is in canvas bags.
