A LPG tanker headed to the Verna Industrial Estate turned turtle on the NH at Bendulem near Balli village on Wednesday noon.
While the accident did not pose any danger to the tanker, with no leakage reported from the vehicle, the tanker driver was left injured as he sustained minor injuries in the mishap.
The incident is believed to have occurred at around 2 pm when the driver lost balance before the tanker turned turtle. Fortunately, the ill-fated tanker landed on the roadside, and did not cause any major traffic disruption on the highway.
Cuncolim police, however, rushed to the spot to regulate traffic on both sides of the highway.
Officials of the oil companies also descended at the spot to take stock of the situation and initiate measures to tow the ill-fated tanker.
