As reported by road service representatives, the complete cleanup of the incident's aftermath may drag on until evening. The situation is complicated by the fact that the overturned truck has blocked all lanes in the direction from the capital, and has also made the road surface extremely slippery.
The State Traffic Inspectorate believes that the accident occurred due to a technical malfunction of the vehicle. In any case, those planning to head out towards the Zhytomyr highway today should think ahead about alternative routes. Most likely, the traffic jam will persist at least until evening. It is not yet known when the spilled sunflower oil will be removed from the roadway.
It is worth adding that a congestion has also formed on the opposite lane. Many drivers are slowing down to look at the scene of the incident. Some pedestrians are even collecting oil into bottles.
