If the cargo, or part of it, falls onto the road creating an obstacle, how must the driver act?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The driver is obliged to remove the fallen cargo as soon as possible to prevent accidents and restore road safety. Before proceeding to remove it, the obstacle must be properly signaled (hazard lights, warning triangles, or V-16 light) to warn other road users. If immediate removal is not possible, the area must be protected until assistance services arrive. Ignoring it or simply notifying without signaling places traffic in serious danger.
