Between Montario and Nova Terreli, a small range of hills surrounds the road. In the vicinity of these hills, several small streams cross the road, necessitating a large number of small bridges. At one of these bridges, on the Montario side, an ox cart has broken and lost a wheel. In the process, the cargo of barrelled ores has been scattered and the driver thrown down with an injured leg. This has created a chokepoint on the busy road, stopping several travellers in their path.

Luckily for the injured driver, one of these travellers is a doctor of medicine, Sir Anton Hughes, fellow of the Royal Society of Natural Philosophy, and his assistant Ian Collins, carrying the medical supplies. Long since, Corlander scientists recognised the importance of physical exercise, especially for young assistants, and young Mr. Collins is getting his fair share working for Sir Hughes. The doctor is carrying out a year long voluntary medical service on la Strada Maxima, sponsored by the Royal Society. Such voluntary services has long been a tradition for medical gentlemen of the Society, and helps spread the knowledge of the organisation, as well as ensures the volunteer a wide experiences of diverse medical problems.

Another hindered traveller is Amin Maleek, Tellvokian dye trader, and his trusty camel. Underway to Montario with a selection of fine dyes for the craftsmen of the Governorial seat, his is shocked by the hindrance. A few other travellers, including a farmer and his wife and son, are gathered around the bridge too, and hopefully the wheel will soon be repaired and the road open once more.

An entry to the Strada Maxima minichallenge - I really want to pick up some shares!

A nice build, the highlight is surely the disable cart and its spilled load. I also like the man with that backpack/carrying contraption, I'm sure it could be altered for a multitude of purposes! 

Easily the most fabulously troubled people around!!! I love both the scenery and all the action featured here!!!

Well depicted trouble here, and I really like the inclusion of the Royal Society in story and MOC. Oh, and I might steal that cart design 

This road not only needs traffic rules, but also a roadside assistance service.

Great job 

So much for my entry idea of the disabled cart! You've done it much better than I was going to do. Love the bridge and the tall grass at the edge of the stream! The spilled barrels from the cart is great posing. And the camel is an interesting addition to the island (I also like the backpacks as saddle bags for the camel). Excellent all the way around!

Nice entry.  Good action and scenery.  ESL could be spending some tax dollars on a road widening project.
