KARACHI:

A speeding oil tanker turned turtle after its driver lost control over the steering on the road between Jinnah Bridge and ICI Chowk on Saturday, spilling the oil on the road.

A spokesperson for the traffic police said, the road had become slippery because of oil as a result many motorcyclists slipped causing injuries to them and damage to their bikes.
