On the morning of Friday, October 6, a truck carrying potable water overturned on the Mogi-Bertioga highway at km 82, causing significant traffic disruption. The vehicle was removed by teams from Concessionária Novo Litoral (CNL), the company responsible for managing the highway. The incident drew the attention of multiple emergency services, illustrating the need for quick response in road accidents.

The State Agency for Transport of São Paulo (Artesp) reported that one individual was trapped in the wreckage and was subsequently transported to a hospital for medical attention. The wreck not only created hazards for the individuals involved but also for other road users, as traffic on the highway was temporarily redirected using a stop-and-go system. This incident reflects ongoing traffic safety concerns on Brazilian highways, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure reliability.

In response to the oil spill resulting from the accident, response teams swiftly spread sawdust on the road, an immediate measure to prevent further hazards on the highway. Such incidents are reminders of the risks associated with heavy-duty vehicles on highways and the urgent need for road safety measures and regulations to mitigate the dangers of similar events in the future.
