The Municipal Traffic Police (PMT) of the capital informs that the road accident occurred at kilometer 12 of the Route to the Pacific, descent of Villalobos, affects vehicular circulation on the Aguilar Batres road and the peripheral ring with meaning towards Villa Nueva.
Slow transit is observed in the referred sections, so the PMT suggests using alternate routes.
Henry Quevedo, spokesman for the PMT of Villa Nueva, reports that a head towed to another similar vehicle and, for reasons that are unknown, one of them managed.
He adds that a crane reached kilometer 12 to remove both vehicles. Traffic was temporarily interrupted, which still affects mobility.
It indicates that the circulation is also affected towards the capital, because some pilots decrease the speed to observe what happened.
