A violent downpour , which hit in the afternoon, transformed a stretch of state road 128 into a river of water and mud , causing serious traffic disruption. The affected stretch is the one between the municipalities of Samatzai and Ussana, but the wave of bad weather also took nearby towns by surprise, including Barrali, Nuraminis and Pimentel .
The rain, intense and sudden, caused the waters to overflow from the surrounding countryside, which poured onto the asphalt. On the 128, motorists were forced to proceed at a walking pace to overcome the ford that formed in a few minutes.
