Friday the thirteenth lived up to its name for the driver of a small concrete mixer which toppled on its side this morning.

The incident happened near a roundabout on the Naxxar-Gharghur bypass at about 7 a.m.

The concrete mixer appears to have hit the pavement before toppling over, shattering its windscreen. It ended up facing oncoming traffic. The driver did not appear to be seriously injured.

The vehicle spilled concrete onto the road but workers from the same company were quickly on the scene to transfer the material to another truck.
