Truck accidents cause highway closures in Albacete and Lugo

Two separate truck accidents in Spain have caused significant traffic disruptions on major highways.

In Albacete, the A-31 highway was closed in the direction of Alicante during the early hours of Wednesday, October 21, near Chinchilla de Montearagón. A truck overturned at kilometer 116, blocking the roadway. Authorities established an alternative route via exits 112, using roads AB-301 and CM-3261. No injuries were reported in this incident.

In Lugo, traffic on the A-6 highway toward Madrid was temporarily halted between kilometers 507 and 497 following a truck rollover near San Salvador de Muxa. Emergency services responded to the scene around 4:30 AM. While the driver was not trapped, firefighters had to assist them in exiting the vehicle after the doors became stuck. The driver was subsequently transported to a medical center. Although the road has reopened, the left lane remains closed to allow for repairs to a damaged safety barrier.
