Watch the bizarre footage: the ball flew off the pitch straight onto the street and caused an accident
During the final round of the group stage in the Uruguayan second division, a particularly bizarre event occurred that went viral online within hours. The incident took place in the first half of the match between Uruguay Montevideo and Paysandú at the "Parque Ancap" stadium. In the 24th minute, a player cleared the ball outside the stadium boundaries onto the nearby highway, and amazingly, it managed to cause a minor traffic accident.

In the 24th minute, a player cleared the ball outside the stadium boundaries onto the nearby highway, and amazingly, it managed to cause a minor traffic accident.
Seconds after the clearance, the ball remained bouncing on the asphalt of the road located in the west of the city. A car driving normally in the direction of the port could not avoid it, which prevented the driver from maintaining control of the vehicle. He slowed down, causing a chain reaction accident involving several drivers who were traveling in front of him.
Fortunately, the accident was of low intensity, so there were no casualties. However, traffic was congested for at least 15 minutes until the road section was cleared. After this period of time, and thanks to two men who moved the van to the side of the road, the situation returned to normal.
