A serious accident occurred on the Fernão Dias highway in Atibaia, São Paulo, where a truck overturned following a rear-end collision with a car. The incident took place around 6:49 AM at kilometer 36 of BR-381, in the access ramp connecting to the Dom Pedro I highway. The truck driver reported losing control of the vehicle while approaching the ramp, which led to the unfortunate crash.

The truck was transporting asphalt mix, and the load spilled across the highway, necessitating a complete closure of all lanes. As a consequence, traffic was diverted to the Dom Pedro I highway, leading to significant delays, with reports indicating about 9 kilometers of congestion by 8 AM. This incident highlights the ongoing issues with road safety and traffic management in this busy transportation corridor in Brazil.

Emergency services and traffic authorities responded quickly to the situation to assist the driver and manage the scene. However, the resulting traffic disruption serves as a reminder of the potential hazards on Brazil's highways and the need for vigilance among motorists, particularly in high-traffic areas and during periods of increased activity.
