Hey there! You won't believe what went down on the A7 motorway in Lower Franconia, right? Early this morning, a hectic scene unfolded when a truck lost control and crashed through a guardrail on a bridge near Bad Bruckenau (yup, that's in the Bad Kissingen district).

According to our sources, the driver's little mistake sent the truck careening into the opposite lane, and yessiree, a structural engineer had to step in to ensure the bridge's safety. After a thorough inspection, the bridge was partially reopened for traffic flowing northward. Before you ask,the southbound lanes should be cleared up soon too.

Meanwhile, the oil tank on the truck received some nasty damage, leaving engine oil trickling all over the place. Surprisingly, the driver walked away unscathed. Kudos to them for that!

So, if you're planning a trip in that area, keep a close eye on local news or traffic alerts. This incident might still be fresh, so staying informed will help you navigate the detours set up by our trusty cops.
