A massive traffic snarl engulfed the Vyttila Junction and roads leading to it on Monday morning after two tyres of a multi-axle lorry burst when it was crossing the overbridge, reportedly due to overloading.
This caused a serpentine traffic snarl extending up to Thykoodam on the western side of the NH Bypass, resulting in traffic hold-ups on the other roads that lead to Vyttila junction as well.
Vyttila is the biggest junction in Kerala, which is used by well over 1 lakh passenger car units daily.
