Trailer removed, road fully reopened after 18-hour operation

Council of Europe Road near the airport was fully open on Thursday morning after an 18-hour operation to lift an overturned trailer and restore the road surface. The trailer flipped on its side at about 1pm on Wednesday, causing partial closure of the body lanes towards the airport. The driver escaped injury.

Transport Malta said it had worked with Infrastructure Malta and the Civil Protection Department to remove the trailer and a large quantity of diesel which had leaked from it. That stretch of road needed work to ensure it was no longer hazardous because of the accident. Transport Malta urged motorists to proceed with caution.
