Driver injured after truck suffers blowout, crashes into trench

A truck driver sustained injury when the vehicle he was driving on the Essequibo Coast suffered a blowout while travelling to Supenaam, became uncontrollable, and crashed into a ditch at Spring Garden in Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam).
Reports are that the uncontrollable truck veered into the lane of oncoming traffic, and a pickup had to swerve into a trench to avoid a collision. The truck eventually crashed into the trench.
The driver of the pickup said he saw the truck coming into his lane, and he instinctively swerved out of the way, but he lost control of his vehicle and it landed in the trench.
He survived the ordeal without injury, but the truck driver sustained injuries to his head and feet, and was taken to the hospital for treatment.
