Corporal Brendan Sutherland of the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda has raised concerns over frequent spillage of cement and concrete on public roads.

The officer said drivers often swerve to avoid spilled materials, moving into oncoming traffic and creating serious safety hazards.

Residents have warned that an accident is likely if the problem persists.

Currently, there are no formal regulations requiring truck operators to stop and clear spills.

Witnesses report that spills are most common when trucks travel uphill or navigate sharp bends.

Authorities are urging drivers of concrete, sand, stone, and gravel trucks to secure their loads and clean up any spills to protect other road users.

Areas most affected include Scottsdale, parts of Valley Road, and All Saints Road.
