The crash, which was reportedly caused by suspected brake failure, blocked the carriageway and disrupted traffic. Emergency responders deployed recovery vehicles and diversion measures to clear the scene. LASTMA has warned residents, traders and food vendors not to consume or sell any oil collected from the roadside.
