Focus on the word "last night" in statement 1 and the "morning" in statement 2, by considering this (a) is the correct answer.

It can be some other area the police had cordoned.

Yes but do we need to link the two statements if they are not connected explicitly. The area can be cordoned off due to some other reason also.

A is the correct answer. The first thing to be done in these kind of statements Cause and effect) is to check whether any one of them is an effect to the other or not. If no, then try to check whether they are independent ones.
So now, read the statement like this: A huge truck overturned on the middle of the road last night, therefore the police had cordoned of entire area in the locality this morning for half of the day.
The effect goes along well with the cause without any doubt.

Agreed with @Sharma, There might be some cause of overturning the truck, so it should be effect. And there might be some other cause for police to cordon the entire area. So option D should be the correct answer.
