HUNDREDS of motorists were trapped in heavy traffic yesterday as the Diego Martin Borough Corporation held its second annual military parade which began at its headquarters at West Vale Park, Glencoe.

From around 9 a.m., westbound motorists who tried to access the Diego Martin Highway from off the Western Main Road were restricted, leaving hundreds of them seeking alternative routes into Diego Martin, Diamond Vale and Petit Valley.

One woman who was able to breach the traffic restrictions was eventually stopped by a traffic warden, the Express observed.
