A serious traffic incident occurred on the morning of Tuesday, October 10, when a truck carrying 3,276 chickens overturned on the Marechal Rondon highway (SP-300) at a location known as 'Serra de Botucatu.' The accident took place at approximately 7 a.m., when the driver lost control while navigating a curve during a foggy ascent on the road. Fortunately, despite the significant impact, the driver sustained no injuries.

Following the accident, the highway was partially blocked as law enforcement carried out an investigation and efforts began to remove the overturned truck. The circumstances leading to the incident are still being reviewed, particularly regarding the driver's claim of losing control due to poor visibility caused by fog. The partial closure of the highway was expected to cause delays as cleanup and logistics were coordinated.

The company that owned the cargo was notified to arrange for the transport of the surviving chickens, ensuring that minimal disruption occurred to the supply chain. This incident highlights the risks associated with transporting livestock, especially under challenging weather conditions, and the responsibilities of transport companies in ensuring the safety of their drivers and cargo.
