Van flipped on its roof after tyre bursts

Posted by Ed Saunt on Jan 6, 09 03:39 PM in Local Authority

A driver had a lucky escape when his van flipped onto its roof after a tyre burst on the M3, on Monday, January 5, at about 11.18am.

The incident happened on the southbound carriageway, between junctions 2 and 3, when the burst tyre caused the vehicle to collide with the central reservation before turning onto its roof.

The male driver suffered only minor injuries and was treated by medics at the scene. The carriageway was partially closed just before 5pm while fire crews moved the vehicle and cleared spilt diesel from the road. Some minor local traffic congestion resulted.
