Playa del Carmen, Q.R. — A truck overturned on the federal highway after being unable to stop in time for a patrol unit. The accident happened Thursday when a municipal patrol unit pulled over a semi.

The semi was transporting a helicopter and was parked on the shoulder when the private truck, heading toward Cancun, came upon the scene. The driver of the private truck was unable to break in time and ended up on its side.
Paramedics along with two units from the National Guard responded to the report of the accident. The driver and passenger of the truck was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Traffic was heavily congested due to the stopped semi and the single vehicle overturn. Drivers were forced to squeeze through one lane while the two situations were resolved.
