In addition, due to the concentration of passengers to avoid this traffic congestion and the traffic congestion associated with traffic congestion, a maximum of 15 km of traffic congestion occurred on the Keiyo Road, which is parallel to the Higashi-Kanto Expressway.
5 Recovery status
Firefighting was used to extinguish the fire, but it took more than four hours to extinguish the fire because the plastic in the cargo burned violently.
