A heavy goods trailer has flipped onto its side on a main roadway close to the corporate headquarters of Lasco in Central Village, St Catherine, bringing significant traffic disruption to morning commuters and local travelers on Thursday.
Local law enforcement officers have deployed to the accident site to assist with crowd and traffic control, as passing motorists are forced to navigate around the obstructed vehicle through narrow alternate paths. The presence of police has helped prevent total gridlock in the area, but lengthy wait times remain unavoidable for drivers passing through the corridor.
As of initial reports, the root cause of the rollover accident remains undetermined. Early witness accounts confirm the incident took place at approximately 9 a.m. local time on Thursday. The truck had only one person on board at the time of the crash, the driver, and emergency officials have confirmed no injuries were sustained in the incident.
