On Sunday, a public lighting post and an advertising sign were knocked down on Av. Jerônimo de Albuquerque in the Angelim neighborhood of São Luís, causing major traffic disruptions. The fallen structures blocked the roadway while heading towards Cohama, leading to total street closure and significant traffic jams throughout the morning.

The traffic obstruction forced vehicles to navigate into oncoming lanes to continue their journeys, highlighting the severity of the situation. Local traffic authorities, specifically from the Municipal Secretariat of Traffic and Transport (SMTT), were deployed to manage the resulting traffic chaos and offer directions to frustrated drivers.

As of now, there are no details on what type of vehicle caused the incident or the exact circumstances that led to the collapse of the street structures. The São Luís city hall, which oversees public lighting, has yet to provide a timeline for the removal of the downed post, prolonging the disruptions on this critical traffic route.
