Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Q.R. — Federal highway traffic was slowed for hours after a dozing driver lost his load of beams. The driver of the flatbed trailer was heading north early Monday morning when he dozed and swerved.
Due to the weight of his load, he overturned. Large steel beams scattered the side highway along with his cab and overturned flatbed. National Guard Highways were sent to sort out the chaos and direct traffic during the clean up process.
