Traffic jam on BR-304, in Greater Natal Sérgio Henrique Santos/Inter TV Cabugi According to the police officer, the truck is expected to be toppled and removed from the stretch in around 2 hours. This is because, before turning the vehicle around, it is necessary to remove all of its cargo, made of MDF wood, to place on another trailer. The operation began shortly after 8am. The PRF's suggestion for those who have not yet reached the stretch is to try to divert via Estrada de Cajupiranga - for those going to BR-101 - or via BR-226, for those heading to Macaíba.
