Three people had a narrow escape at around 11 am on Tuesday at Montagne Ory near Colville Deverell bridge when the car they were travelling in collided with a lorry on the southbound motorway. The car turned turtle from the impact.
The car with three passengers aged between 20 and 25 years crashed into the rear of the truck with such force that one of the truck’s tyres came off. One of the three young men in the contract car, a Honda, was immediately taken to Victoria hospital in Candos with severe injuries. According to the doctor, his condition stabilised in the evening.
The other two passengers are safe, although the car is badly mangled. According to eyewitness of the accident Rajen Maruth, “The young man lost control of his car, which bumped into the lorry and rolled over several times.” The Moka police managed to ease the traffic flow.
