A truck driver sustained moderate injuries after his truck overturned on Flower road on Monday afternoon.
The driver apparently failed to properly negotiate his turn from Edwin Swales drive leading the truck to fall onto its left hand side.
When our SATRUCKER Contributor passed the scene he found the truck laying on its side completely blocking the left filter lane onto Flower road from Edwin Swales side.
Rescue Care paramedics attended to the injured driver and later conveyed him to hospital.

1. Reduce speed when turning.
2. Always make sure your load is secure and evenly balanced.
