Córdoba launches motorhome route with a dozen service points

A motorhome became stuck on a section of Argentina's National Route 40, known as the '73 Cursed'. Provincial road services used a motor grader to rescue the vehicle and restore the road. The stretch between Tres Lagos and Gobernador Gregores was closed to all traffic due to water and mud accumulation following heavy rains.

A motorhome being towed by a Toyota Hilux detached, crossed into the oncoming lane, and collided head-on with a Mercedes truck. The truck driver was injured, and traffic was disrupted for approximately one hour.
