He then tried to make a U-turn after finding out he had gone into a wrong way.
As the long truck changed its direction on a narrow road, the shipping container lost its balance and turned on its side, crushing the truck cabin and killing the driver on the spot.
Police had cleared up the accident scene as of Friday afternoon.
