An Algerian young man was killed when a heavy lorry skidded off the RN 12 between Kesra (Siliana) and Hafouz (Kairouan) late on Friday evening, a civil protection source said.
The accident had been caused by the skidding of a lorry loaded with sugar from Algeria, he explained to TAP, adding that the lorry had caught fire as a result of the skidding and collision with another lorry, which had led to the death on the spot of the young driver.
The deceased is a 28-year-old Algerian man, a National Guard source confirmed.
