Reglamento sobre el manejo de carga derramada tras un accidente

Explicación Simple

Si hay un accidente y algo se derrama en la carretera, un oficial de policía puede quitarlo para que los autos puedan seguir pasando. También puede guardar las cosas derramadas si cree que se pueden dañar o robar.

Es como cuando se te cae un paquete de comida en la cocina; tienes que limpiarlo rápido para que no se ensucie más y para que no te resbales.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan tiene un accidente en su camión y se derrama un montón de cajas de frutas en la carretera. Un policía llega y decide mover las cajas a un lugar seguro para que los autos puedan pasar sin problemas, y luego las guarda en un almacén para que no se dañen.
