Hazardous Load Exceeds Safety Limits on the Chekka-to-Beirut Road

A widely circulated image shows a large truck traveling down the Chekka tunnel descent toward Beirut, carrying a load that protrudes conspicuously beyond its frame, with the width of the cargo extending roughly one to one and a half meters beyond the truck itself.

This scene raises serious concerns over public safety, as it poses a direct danger to vehicles passing alongside the truck and threatens the safety of drivers and pedestrians alike, particularly in narrow areas or on bends, where the likelihood of serious accidents increases.
