In another accident at about 2am, Sukdeo said a woman in her 20s sustained minor injures in an accident on Brentwood Park Road, near Venus Road.
There was no other vehicle involved in the accident.
The male driver of the overturned car was apparently arrested at the scene of the accident, but the City Times could not confirm this at the time of publishing.
About an hour later in Crystal Park, five women were involved in a single-vehicle collision along Nicator Road, at about 3am.
