A man died in a freak accident in Għasri this afternoon when his truck cabin rose out of place as he was driving his Ford Cargo downhill at Triq il-Fenek. The truck crashed into a wall.
The accident happened at about 4.10pm.
The 63-year-old from Xagħra was driving down into a private property to collect waste bins.
Rescuers from the Civil Protection Department tried to save him but their efforts were to no avail.
A magisterial inquiry is under way.
