In the early hours of Thursday, a truck lost control and came to rest in an 'L' shape, completely obstructing all southbound lanes of the Presidente Dutra highway (BR-116) at kilometer 69 in Aparecida, São Paulo. According to the highway's managing concessionaire, RioSP, the incident occurred at approximately 4:41 AM. Emergency and traffic teams were dispatched to the scene to manage the situation and assist any casualties involved.

Initial reports from the Federal Highway Police (PRF) indicated that the truck was transporting a container when it overturned, trapping the driver inside the wreckage. Emergency responders successfully extricated the driver, who sustained moderate injuries but was conscious during the rescue operation. The driver was subsequently transported to the Guaratinguetá Emergency Care Unit (Upa) for further medical attention.

In terms of traffic implications, the highway remained closed for cleanup and investigation work following the incident. The concessionaire confirmed that while the truck did not drop its load, the blockage caused considerable disruption to morning traffic. Authorities are working to ensure a swift resolution to restore normal traffic flow on this crucial route.
