No injuries, but traffic jams

The violent wind apparently overturned the trailer of the truck which then lay on the road. According to our information, no one was injured and the truck was not transporting dangerous materials. The A47 is closed in the Saint-Etienne direction towards the metropolis of Lyon pending the removal of the vehicle.

The CRS Autoroutière evacuated the stuck vehicles by making them leave the motorway in the wrong direction, and a diversion was put in place.

Around 11:30 a.m., there were six kilometers of traffic jams and at this time, the heavy goods vehicle was being repaired.
