Carnival holiday: accident at the Interbalnearia slows down traffic

Between 12:00 and 14:00 this Saturday there was a peak of 2,800 vehicles per hour that circulated towards the east of the country, in a “massive exit”, reported Caminera. Later, around 4:15 p.m. there was a traffic accident at kilometer 67 of the Interbalnearia route that caused a slowdown due to the fact that the path was cut off and the vehicles circulate on the side street of the highway.

“The accident is not serious, the car intends to cross the road and is hit by a taxi that was traveling to the east. The driver of the vehicle that tried to cross was multiple traumatized,” reported the Highway Police.

This Friday, between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., the traffic flow to the east reached 2,960 vehicles per hour.
