Rough start to the morning in A Corua. A garbage truck has broken down this Wednesday occupying both lanes of the Concepción Arenal street, right on the curve that goes to the Cuatro Caminos fountain. The incident also coincided with the fact that the elm trees in the square are being pruned. This past weekend a branch fell and now municipal workers are removing others that may be in the same danger. In fact, it was these garden workers who initially helped regulate traffic in the area. They placed some cones on the sidewalk for vehicles to pass and thus alleviate the queue. Nevertheless, That street will have one lane closed this day to carry out tree pruning..

On the other hand, around 9:03 a.m., the Local Police received the notice of a pileup with three vehicles involved in the Salgado Torres tunnel, heading out of the city. A 092 patrol was immediately deployed to regulate traffic and attend to the people involved. Despite the significant material damage, there were no serious injuries. One person was slightly injured due to neck discomfort. The first car had to brake suddenly when the light turned red and the one behind had to not respect the speed limits. There are no major retentions as it is perfectly signposted, they specified. Voices from A Coruafrom Radio Voz.
