A truck driver lost control of his vehicle on Wednesday morning in the center of a working-class district of Casablanca, violently hitting the metal curtain of a store closed at the time of the accident, we noted on square.
The skidding of the truck did not cause any casualties, except for the slightly injured driver, as the area around Boulevard Abou Bouchaib Doukkali, in Derb Sultan, was still empty of passers-by at this time of day, around 8:30 a.m.
The national security and civil protection units quickly rushed to the scene, while the truck was immediately towed by the recovery to clear the way.
The skid of the unloaded truck would have been caused by “faulty brakes”, according to preliminary elements collected on the spot.
The day before, at the end of the day, the driver of a tanker hit a gas station head-on at Derb Moulay Chérif, creating a great panic among the people present in the sector, especially as the violence of the shock brought down a fuel dispenser which, fortunately, did not catch fire.
The accident caused significant material damage, but also anger of residents against the driver of the truck, whose loss of control could have caused a “catastrophe”.
