Going by the video clip and CCTV camera footage accessed, it looks like the cement truck driver’s car breaks got loose and failed to control the truck and when he tried to dodge the cars in the traffic jam, he failed to go past the road barriers and the truck fell flat on the Mitsubishi.
We are waiting for the Police official report to be shared with the public and more advice on how to stay safe on the road.
