The Panevėžys ring road is currently closed in both directions and a traffic jam of several kilometers has spread due to the traffic accident. A Renault tractor-trailer and a rolled metal structure blocked the traffic. The road cleaning works are likely to take some time until the morning, so arriving road builders have built bypass signs. Drivers are advised to choose other routes.
