- Public concern grew after several recent accidents, including one that resulted in the death of two goats.
- Local authorities were accused of failing to act on previous complaints regarding the drivers.
- The protest caused temporary traffic disruptions until police mediation led to assurances that the vehicles would be driven safely.
What to watch next
