VN24 - Truck accident on A1 - Small truck hits end of traffic jam

VN24 - 06-09-2023 (D/M/Y) - Schwerte A1 / Germany - On the A1 freeway, a 7.5 tonne truck hit a Semitrailer shortly after the Lichtendorf rest area in the northbound direction. The driver had apparently overlooked the fact that a traffic jam had formed in front of him. He was trapped in his cab and had to be freed and rescued by the fire department. He was taken to hospital with less serious injuries. While the truck in front was able to continue its journey, the damaged small truck had to be towed away by a salvage company.

Hi VN 24, I see another loss of concentration has caused yet another rear ending . At least the driver survived this time. Thanks for posting 👍

I'm always amazed when I see videos like this. Here in the UK the motorway would be completely closed for hours.

Salvage company didn't pick up the trash.

It was likely picked up by the gray van that is backing up at the end

@@romelec Ok didn't see that. I am impressed with the companies that send out the street sweepers. They look like they are sanitizing the road!. I watch these videos on my TV so I am lacking the language translation which is a problem for me. VN24 does a great job.

I realized I never replied to a comment before and don't know how to do it whether your tag should be in front or back. @@romelec
