A concerned motorist has written to demand urgent action over what they describe as a serious road hazard on Factory Road, where a truck and attached flatbed trailer have been partially obstructing the roadway for more than a week. According to Antigua.news, the rear of the trailer protrudes into the carriageway, posing a significant danger to drivers travelling from west to east along the busy highway.
The letter writer warns that the obstruction is particularly dangerous for motorists navigating the road at night or during periods of heavy traffic, describing the situation as "an accident waiting to happen."
The author argues the hazard is entirely preventable, noting that the vehicle could have been pulled further off the road or repositioned with assistance. Instead, it has remained in place, day after day, without any apparent intervention from authorities.
The letter pointedly questions the role of traffic wardens and road safety officials. "How can such an obvious hazard be allowed to remain for over a week without intervention?" the writer asks, calling on relevant authorities to act before a crash or serious injury occurs.
Factory Road is a heavily travelled route, and the motorist urges immediate removal of the obstruction. "Public safety cannot be treated as an afterthought," the letter states.
As reported by Antigua.news, the writer closes with a direct appeal to authorities to address the danger before it claims a victim.
