The City Hall of Cape Girardeau, where the occurrence was recorded, asked drivers to redouble their attention and drive with caution, especially in areas with teams working on repairs. Authorities stressed the importance of respecting speed limits and road safety alerts.
Experts explain that in extreme heat, the combination of high temperatures and moisture infiltration can cause cracks and asphalt deformations. This type of wear compromises the track structure and can cause serious accidents, such as the one recorded in the video.
