Ronda Litoral reopened, cut for six hours due to the fatal accident of a truck driver

BarcelonaSix hours after the accident in which a truck driver died near Montjuïc, the Ronda del Litoral has finally reopened once the tasks to remove the vehicle and clean the area have been completed. Traffic has been very complicated throughout the morning and this road was cut off in the Llobregat direction, disabling all entrances. Only the exits remained open to clear the accident zone and facilitate the work of the rescue teams, as the driver was trapped in the wreckage. Firefighters had been working there since 7:30 a.m.

The section affected by the accident on the Ronda Litoral covered almost the entire road, with a traffic jam extending to Sant Adrià de Besòs. Freight trains were also affected by a lamppost falling onto the tracks from the ring road.

A truck on fire on the AP-7

The one on the ring road was not the only accident that complicated traffic in the metropolitan area. Thus, on the AP-7 a truck with frozen products also caught fire in Cerdanyola del Vallès, which forced the entire road to be cut off in the southbound direction early in the morning. By 10 a.m. three lanes had already been reopened, but delays are still dragging on from Santa Perpètua de Mogoda.

The incident has also caused disruptions on the B-30, parallel to the AP-7, from Barberà del Vallès. Following the accident, Traffic authorities recommend using alternative routes. In the direction of Tarragona and Lleida, drivers are asked to travel via the C-58 and the B-40, while in the direction of Barcelona, these two routes as well as the A-2 can be used.
