A van driver was captured on camera making a most dangerous U-turn in one of Malta's busiest roads. 

The dashcam footage shows the driver in Triq L-Indipendenza, Pieta, heading towards Portes des Bombes, when he is suddenly seen making a U-turn to head back towards Msida. The van could not manoeuvre into the lane right away, forcing the driver to reverse before continuing with his path towards Msida.

Cars driving under the bridge from Valletta towards Msida normally have limited visibility in that part of the road because of the road inclination. 

The footage, shot on Friday, has been forwarded to the police.

Gozo Express Services Ltd said it condemned the actions of the driver and his personal decision to make such a maneuver. The company said it prohibited and discouraged any illegal or unsafe driving by its employees. It said it would take the necessary action against the driver.
