“Immediately we got to Shoprite I looked from under the bridge before we made the U-Turn I saw my Highlander with four wheels facing up. I could not believe it was the same car I entered to Eku and entered a different car from Eku to Shoprite.

“When I came down and cross the road that was when I realised my driver was upside down; everything was upside down.”

As at the time of filing this report, the condition of the driver who was rushed to the hospital for medical attention could not be ascertained.
