A tree fell on the BR-317 highway at km 16 on Sunday morning, blocking the road for several hours due to heavy rainfall in the region. The fall, attributed to rain that had begun earlier that morning, caused significant traffic delays as the local authorities worked to clear the obstruction. Motorists were stuck for hours as crews from the Corpo de Bombeiros (Fire Department) and local volunteers worked to remove the fallen tree. The heavy rain reported in the area accumulated to 52 millimeters by early afternoon, which was enough to affect road safety. Thankfully, there were no reported injuries or significant incidents due to the fall, as emergency services acted promptly to manage the situation. The incident underscores the challenges posed by seasonal rainfall in the region and highlights the importance of preparedness for such weather-related events to maintain road safety and traffic flow in Acre's more rural areas.
