Part of the road running along the Xwejni salt pans in Gozo has collapsed under the weight of a truck.

In a brief statement, the Gozo Ministry confirmed the incident on Triq ix-Xwejni and said nobody was hurt. 

Works to repair the damage are already underway, the ministry added. 

Photos circulating online show a construction truck practically on its left side, with its rear left wheels sunken into beneath the road surface.

In a similar incident earlier this week, a crane in Baħar ic-Cagħaq toppled over after part of the road beneath one of its stabilising arms gave way.
