The heavy vehicle accident on Sunday morning completely paralyzed traffic on the A9 motorway for several hours. The accident occurred in the Nîmes-Montpellier direction, after the East exit. The 40-year-old driver, slightly injured, was evacuated to the Nîmes teaching hospital.
The truck transporting fruit and vegetables found himself lying across the road for an unknown reason. He blocked all three traffic lanes. The exit is compulsory in Nîmes Est (n ° 24) for all vehicles.
