A Sasaki rear-end collision involving two vehicles slowed traffic on Avenida Nelson Orlando Oduber during the Wednesday afternoon rush hour.
Two vehicles involved near the roundabout
According to 24ora, the crash involved a white Toyota Mark X and a blue Suzuki Swift. The report said the Suzuki was approaching the roundabout when the vehicle behind it failed to reduce speed or maintain sufficient following distance.
The impact occurred on Avenida Nelson Orlando Oduber in the Eagle/Sasaki area. The source did not report injuries in its account of the collision.
Crash added to peak-hour congestion
The collision happened as commuters were leaving work, and traffic backed up on the busy avenue while the vehicles remained at the scene.
The incident is a reminder for drivers approaching Aruba’s roundabouts to reduce speed early and maintain enough space to react when traffic ahead slows or stops.
