Quito’s Nayón Road Closed In Both Directions After Truck Overturns

A truck overturned in the Las Bromelias sector on the road to Nayón, north of Quito, leaving one person injured and closing traffic in both directions.

Where The Closure Is

The closure affects the road to Nayón near the Ekopark campus of UDLA. Emergency teams closed vehicle circulation in both directions while responding to the crash.

Paramedics provided prehospital care to the injured person. No additional injuries had been reported at the time of the update.

What Happens Next

Authorities were working to remove the truck and restore traffic.

What This Means For Expats

If you are moving between Quito, Cumbayá, Tumbaco, or Nayón, check your route before leaving. A closure in that corridor can turn a normal trip into a slow detour very quickly.
