A traffic incident occurred on the Narcisa de Jesús highway in northern Guayaquil, where a truck overturned, blocking several central lanes. The incident took place around 07:30, prompting immediate action from the Metropolitan Transit Authority (ATM), which announced the closure of the central lanes heading towards the bus terminal. As a response to this disruption, ATM coordinated the management of vehicle traffic in the area.

Rain in the region compounded the situation, requiring vehicles to proceed at reduced speed along the service lanes while the central lanes remained closed due to the overturned truck.
