Dump truck skids on slippery road and crashes into road barrier along Portsdown Avenue towards Lornie Road

This Thursday (Oct 27) afternoon, Stomper Jackie saw a dump truck skidded off a slippery road and crashed into a road barrier along Portsdown Avenue towards Lornie Road. 

Said Jackie: 

"It happened around 12pm. As it was raining, the roads were wet and slippery. 

"The dump truck driver tried to brake before the traffic light but the vehicle skidded off and rammed into the road barrier." 

According to the Stomper, there were no injuries, and the first lane was blocked, which reduced traffic movements.

"Please be careful when driving on a rainy day," added Jackie.
