Updated: Bowser and trailer overturn in Ħal Far

A bowser carrying cement and a trailer have overturned in Ħal Far earlier on Friday, in an accident that occurred on the main road, police have said. 

The trailer was driven by a 44 year old man from Msida, and the bowser was driven by a 49 year old man from Qormi. 

The two vehicles collided after 2pm on Triq Ħal Far, within the boundaries of Birżebbuġa, and both fell to their sides.

At the moment of impact, the cement tanker came loose from the cabin.

The road is presently shut to traffic because vehicles are obstructing both lanes and a “substantial amount” of cement and fuel is spread across the road.

The driver of the bowser was taken to Mater Dei. The full degree of his injuries remains unkown.
