Truck rolls backwards on approach to Demerara bridge

A truck rolled backwards on the approach to the new Bharrat Jagdeo Demerara River Bridge earlier today and was stuck for some time on the structure, causing a severe buildup of traffic on the western approach to the bridge. The incident disrupted the flow of vehicles, with commuters experiencing delays as authorities worked to manage the situation.

The truck has since been removed.

This latest occurrence comes just days after a separate accident on the same bridge claimed the life of an individual. That truck rolled backwards at top speed smashing into six other vehicles.
