On Thursday, a heavy truck collision triggered significant traffic disruption along the Coral Highway, in close proximity to the heavily traveled Punta Cana roundabout. The crash has left one of the key eastbound travel lanes partially blocked, creating widespread travel headaches for motorists navigating the busy corridor, with significant delays stacking up for commuters and commercial drivers alike.
Local traffic official Captain Urtecho broke details of the incident during his regular “Tráfico Expreso” segment, broadcast on the popular El Matutino show on 91.3 FM. During the on-air update, he issued a formal advisory urging all drivers planning to pass through the affected zone to adjust their travel routes where possible, and to exercise extreme defensive caution if rerouting is not an option.
Local road authorities have confirmed that work crews and response teams have been deployed to clear the crash site, remove the damaged truck, and resolve the blockage as quickly as safety protocols allow. The top priority for responding teams is restoring full, normal traffic flow along the impacted stretch of highway to eliminate ongoing travel disruptions for the region’s driving public.
