From Trenes Argentinos they reported that the staff tried to help and remove the truck from the place, but that, due to the weight, it could not be achieved and, in this scenario, “the large vehicle was secured so that it did not fall over.”
This Sunday the authorities announced that the shipment of 40 tons of potatoes was emptied to remove it more easily and avoid looting.
Its removal will occur this Tuesday when the operation to free the track area is carried out. In this framework, it was highlighted that the service of said line “was never affected because it was an auxiliary route.”
Although the removal of the truck is expected to happen in the next few hours, there is fear since the vehicle is twisted due to the puncture of one of its wheels.
