Highway traffic can be significant every day of the week, although it peaks during the week when the volume of vehicles, both heavy goods vehicles and cars, increases due to the numerous work activities that require road professionals and private motorists to travel with their own vehicles in order to complete them within the established times.
Crash on the A4: Firefighters and 118 respond, and traffic jams in various sections
After the impact, the 118 emergency services and the Fire Brigade were called to remove the people remaining inside the articulated trucks and to block the road, thus preventing anyone approaching from proceeding.
The incident sent three drivers to the hospital with minor injuries, but fortunately no one was seriously injured.
In fact, the vehicles that came off worst were the ones who crashed into each other in a chain reaction collision, despite their size, and were damaged.
The queues affected various sections of the well-known motorway, in particular the stretch between Latisana and Portogruaro , which saw cars slow down for several minutes before the impact to allow for the clearing.
Four trucks collided on the highway, blocking the A4 between Portogruaro and San Stino di Livenza.
The road accident occurred this afternoon around 16:30 pm and the stretch of road between Portogruaro and San Stino di Livenza was closed in the direction of Venice in order to carry out all rescue and subsequent evacuation operations.
The dynamics are still being examined by investigators but from the images shown by Il Gazzettino , which first broke the news, it appears to have been a chain collision between heavy vehicles , having difficulty braking due to the sudden stop, they hit each other.
At 18:30 pm, the road affected by the accident was reopened to traffic, which then continued as normal.
