Camper breaks down on A2, debris on road and traffic disruptions

In Mendrisio, a camper heading south on the A2 motorway lost part of its body, causing a puncture in the right rear wheel. The vehicle stopped on the roadside, and TCS reports traffic problems and debris on the carriageway between the Mendrisio rest area and Genestrerio. It is not yet known whether other vehicles were involved. A tow truck is expected to recover the camper, which is unlikely to continue its journey in its current condition. Queues are already forming near Melide.
