A tipper truck driver has died with two others critically injured following an accident at Krispol City Junction in Kasoa on Friday, June 21.
The driver fell beneath the vehicle, was run over by the tyres, and died instantly. His two mates, who sustained critical injuries, were rushed to the Mother and Child Hospital in Kasoa.
The deceased has also been deposited at the morgue of the same facility for preservation.
According to an eyewitness, the driver failed to lower the dumper of the truck to a secured position after tipping sand at a nearby fuel station. As a result, the dumper suddenly lifted and struck the overpass at Krispol City Junction.
The impact caused the cabin of the truck, registered GN 7842-21, to rip off, throwing both the driver and his two mates overboard.
“The vehicle while heading in the Budumburam camp direction didn’t notice that the dumper had lifted. All of a sudden, what we noticed was a big bang on the side of the Krispol City bridge. The driver came through the front windscreen and fell under the car, forcing the truck to run over him."
“The two driver’s mates also suffered a similar fate. The driver came to tip sand at a nearby station and suddenly this accident occurred,” an eyewitness told the media.
