Serial accidents on the approach to Toulouse causing major traffic jams

The morning is complicated as we approach Toulouse on the traffic side this Monday morning. In addition to the traditional traffic jams generated by those that occur at work, several accidents have occurred and lengthen travel times.
Two accidents in quick succession
The situation is particularly critical to the east, on the A68, coming from Albi, where two accidents have occurred in quick succession, one kilometer apart, at the height of Montastruc-la-Conseillère.
The first accident involving three vehicles blocks the emergency lane and the right lane: traffic is only in the left lane.
The second, one kilometer longer, involves two vehicles and at this point, cars and trucks only travel on two lanes instead of three. As a result of these two consecutive accidents, driving times are lengthened: it takes 45 minutes to complete a route which is usually done in ten minutes.
On the A20 and near Muret
Other accidents also took place not far from Toulouse, this Monday morning, including one between two cars and a van, on the A20 from Montauban, near exit 62. At this point, traffic is only on one lane.
There are also disturbances between Muret and Bordelongue, south-west of Toulouse. Travel times are extended: it takes 25 minutes to make a trip that is usually done in ten minutes. Also note an accident at the Toulouse North barrier.
