Overview

• The container detached and overturned around the morning rush on the tight curve linking Autopista 25 de Mayo to the Buenos Aires–La Plata highway near km 3.5, blocking most lanes.
• AUBASA crews and police removed the truck and neutralized diesel and brake‑fluid spills, partially restoring circulation after 7 a.m., with cranes preparing to right the container and a further total closure expected.
• No injuries were reported and no other vehicles were involved, according to city police and SAME.
• Preliminary findings indicate a structural detachment of the trailer system after the truck’s left front hit the guardrail, refuting early speculation about a simple weld failure.
• Reports differ on the load—25 vs 43 metric tons of frozen chicken from Azul bound for Dock Sud—but officials say the insulated box holds temperature off‑power and the shipment should continue to its destination.
