A SLURRY tanker overturned at the top of Le Val des Terres shortly after 8am yesterday. It was being towed behind a tractor that had come down the hill and was turning right into Rue de Belvedere.
No one was hurt in the incident and police and vehicle examiners attended. PC Chris Dragun said it was too early to say why the tanker had tipped over.
‘At this stage there doesn’t seem to be an obvious cause,’ he said.
The equipment belonged to farmer Jeremy Le Cocq. Employee John Brown was driving the Massey-Ferguson at the time.
Mr Le Cocq said Mr Brown had been intending to spread the slurry on Belvedere Field.
‘We’ve no idea how it happened,’ he said.
