At this time when there are many vehicles on the highway, the accident generated numerous traffic jams, especially since, in the Saint-Etienne/Lyon direction, traffic was cut off. At 7:45 a.m., Bison futé already had more than 3 km of traffic jams. At 9:30 a.m., the traffic jam reached Saint-Jean-Bonnefonds.
The evacuation of the heavy goods vehicle from 9:30 a.m.
In the other direction too (Lyon/Saint-Etienne), there were 4 km of traffic jams at 7:45 a.m., then 8 km an hour later.
The evacuation of the truck began around 9:30 a.m. At that time, traffic was restored to a single lane in both directions.
Traffic was then restored to normal shortly after 10:30 a.m.
Also on the RN88, in Saint-Etienne
But it was not only in this place that motorists had to be patient this Monday. On the RN88 too, it was a hassle too, always in the direction of Lyon.
Occurring a little later, it was a collision between three cars, under the Rond-Point tunnel, which paralyzed traffic. The traffic jam, however, cleared earlier than in Saint-Chamond.
