AL AIN // A Pakistani driver suffered moderate injuries yesterday morning when his lorry tipped over at a roundabout.

According to police, the driver, in his thirties, entered the roundabout at high speed then lost control of the lorry, which was laden with electrical cables. Traffic on the route was delayed as civil defence crews worked to clean up diesel fuel that had spilt on to the road surface and remove the lorry.
