(J.B./aw) A driver lost complete control of their car on Tuesday between Dreiborn and Flaxweiler ending up with the vehicle on its roof in an adjacent field.

The driver was travelling in the direction of Flaxweiler and negotiating a right-hand bend on a wet road when, for reasons unknown at this stage, lost control of the car.

The car then skidded into a ditch, rolled over and landed on its roof in a field by the side of the road.

The driver, sole occupant of the vehicle, was slightly injured in the accident and was able to break free from the wreckage himself. He was admitted to Kirchberg hospital for check-ups.

The car was completely damaged and the Dreiborn to Flaxweiler road was reduced to 1 lane while a salvage operation took place.
