Traffic slowed to a crawl along the Graeme Hall section of the ABC Highway just before midday today when a concrete mixer truck overturned while making its way around the roundabout.
Police on the scene said the vehicle, which belonged to Ready Mix Limited, was heading in the direction of the Ministry of Agriculture and onto Top Rock when it flipped onto its side.
The driver of the vehicle, who declined to give his name, escaped serious injury and within a relatively short space of time, management from the construction firm and insurance personnel were on the scene, as well as a crane that came to remove the truck.

@ JRSMITH I think the reference to the driver refusing to give his name, was aimed at the reporter,and not the police.
Vehicle bearing a Special License Plate (SL3831)as in the case on the one involved,carries a speed restriction of 25 MPH/40 KPH outside of City Limits , and 15 MPH/25KPH, within the City limits.

Please stop this madness for the sake of human life.
The driver refusing to give his name, isn't that an arrest able offence this is an accident …….. Is this a matter of losing control again...…...
@ CHERYL CARTER. Well observed!.
For many years we have seen these concrete trucks spilling a little bit of their loads at roundabouts and tearing up the lanes in the roundabout. A combination of centrifugal force and load shifting and possibly a third factor.
Hmmm must be a pothole?!!
Any time I see a big truck or a container truck coming round a bend or turning at a traffic light (especially at Eagle Hall traffic lights)I duz get fr ighten and want tuh pee.
I hope the driver is safe, who cares about a hump at that time. The road can be fixed back.
I am not casting any blame here but something needs to be done about the way these trucks are driven. I see them being driven way faster than they ought to be on a daily basis. It also should be mandatory for the spouts to be covered as these trucks spill lots of cement on our roads. I am really very glad that no one was hurt. Let this be a wake up call for all concerned
