According to what Diario La R learned based on sources, on Route 9 before reaching Piriápolis, but on the way to Montevideo, a 5-kilometer traffic jam was generated. The reason was an accident between two vehicles.
According to primary information, the impact between the two took place due to “approach”, forcing one of the vehicles to lose track. It was a medium-sized truck and a car, who would have had the worst part.
Diario La R contacted the Chief of the Highway Police, Mauricio Tort, who assured that so far the death of a person, whose sex and age is unknown, has been confirmed. Uruguay is in the final hours of the Tourism Week and one of the recommendations is to avoid the peak return hours between 11:00 and 17:00.
Various traffic accidents have taken place in this traditional week, alerting the national authorities, who have called for caution on national routes.
