Wish the casualty a speedy recovery ahead

Driving large vehicles is extremely challenging and all the more so when carrying heavy goods.

Thankfully, the driver was manoeuvering the vehicle at a slow speed before the incident occurred.

We hope the casualty did not sustain serious injuries from the accident and wish them a speedy recovery ahead.
