The rollover of a tractor-trailer with an extra-long semitrailer paralyzed traffic tonight on the Puebla-Veracruz highway, near Cumbres de Maltrata.
In addition, paramedics from Caminos y Puentes Federales treated two people for bruises and a nervous breakdown, for which they were transferred to a hospital in the region for evaluation.
Regarding the accident, it was learned that it occurred at kilometer 230, before reaching the first tunnel.
The operator of a tractor-trailer with a dry box type semitrailer, extra-long, was traveling towards Orizaba when at the aforementioned height he lost control of the steering wheel.

Apparently the dense fog caused the driver to lose sight of the limits of the road, so he crashed into the side of the hill, bounced and ended up overturned on the asphalt.
The vehicle was left lying down, obstructing traffic in both lanes, so traffic stopped momentarily.

A Capufe team of workers was assigned to the site to begin removing auto parts scattered on the asphalt and crane operators were later authorized to work on lifting the overturned vehicle.
The vehicle would be taken to a corral where it would be detained at the disposal of the competent authority to guarantee the repair of the damage caused by the accident.
Likewise, the accident report would be integrated with the driver’s version so that federal authorities can determine the probable causes of the accident and determine responsibilities.
It is worth highlighting the recommendation of Capufe staff to drivers in general, to drive with caution on the road network due to the presence of fog and rain, which makes traffic difficult and causes accidents.
