The small-tonnage vehicle, full of oranges, was detected on April 20 driving obliquely, occupying part of the left lane. This forced other drivers to make sudden evasive maneuvers and caused traffic jams.
Officers from the Valencia B Traffic Detachment stopped the driver and removed the truck from circulation. The swift intervention was crucial to prevent a road accident with potentially serious consequences.
“"Thanks to the rapid detection capability, professional experience, and decisive intervention of the officers, the truck was immediately stopped and removed from circulation to prevent a serious road accident from occurring."
An extraordinary technical inspection carried out at an ITV station revealed a total of 26 technical defects. Of these, 23 were classified as serious and three as very serious. Among the most notable deficiencies was a broken axle, which critically compromised the vehicle's stability.
As a result of the unfavorable inspection, the truck was immobilized until its owner rectifies all anomalies. The driver, a 64-year-old man, has been reported for reckless driving and various infractions of the General Vehicle Regulations.
