Overturned truck affects late night José María Morelos highway traffic

José María Morelos, Q.R. — An industrial dump truck carrying a load of Maya Train stones overturned Friday night. Late night highway users of the José María Morelos-Polyuc section were slowed down due to the overturn.

National Guard Highways found the vehicle with its wheels facing the other lane of traffic and its entire load spilled on the shoulder. They also found it was leaking fuel.

Passing motorists called in the overturned vehicle to police after they encountered it blocking one of the two highway lanes. The truck was found abandoned.

José María Morelos firemen were called in to help with the removal of the spilled rocks as well as the fuel leak so the truck could be towed. Municipal police continue to look for the driver. The owner of the company truck has already been notified of the accident.
