This Friday 5th April 2024, shortly before 8 a.m., a road accident occurred on the A81 motorway near Vaiges (Mayenne), on the exit ramp of the interchange, in the Paris-Brittany direction.
The truck remained immobilized
A 44-ton heavy goods vehicle carrying cereals rolled onto its side. The final report shows one injured, a 27-year-old man, the driver of the truck. He was transported to the Laval hospital centre. Ten firefighters were mobilized for the intervention.
“The Vaiges interchange exit ramp, in the Paris-Province direction, remains closed to traffic for an indefinite period,” emergency services said.
At 5:30 p.m., the ramp was still closed for continued cleanup. Vinci Autoroutes indicated that a pumping machine was present to “load” the cargo which spilt following the accident. The opening of the interchange was planned for late in the evening after sweeping the road, and once the heavy goods vehicle had been evacuated.
