According to the National Department of Transport Infrastructure (DNIT), the slippery road caused by the rain contributed to the falls, and traffic remains slow. Most of the trucks were loaded, which caused a large queue of cars and buses in the region. The section must remain slow until all vehicles are removed. ?
