A Romanian driver blocked the E42 highway in Belgium after overturning with his truck while transporting auto parts. The incident occurred when, according to his statements, he tried to drink water and choked, losing control of the steering wheel. The truck hit the highway barrier, and thousands of auto parts scattered on the road, causing significant traffic disruptions.


The driver was injured and was transported to Mont Légia Hospital. The traffic police intervened, and recovery services worked for six hours to clear the parts from the roadway. Although the highway was not completely closed, drivers were advised to use only one lane, and the cleanup was hindered by the oil spill from the truck.
