(JB) A road is to remain closed until at least 8pm after a truck towing a trailer lost control and skidded into the barrier.
The vehicle was travelling towards Tuntange, close to the Belgian border, at around 1pm when the driver swerved to the side of the road to avoid an oncoming truck.
As the truck mounted the bank bordering the road, the driver lost control and skidded. The vehicle then careered through a barrier and finally came to a standstill after hitting a wall of earth. The driver was not injured.
Emergency workers had to use a crane to retrieve the truck. At the time of publishing police expected the road to remain closed until 8pm on Wednesday.
