Severe Collision on A57 Close to Moers - One Individual Critically Injured - Police, Helicopter, and Accident Crew in Action
On Tuesday, March 4, 2025, an incident occurred on the A57 highway near Moers-Hülsdonk that disrupted traffic for several hours.
At approximately 13:55, a 26-year-old Belarusian was driving an articulated truck on the right lane of the A57 towards Nimwegen. Due to traffic conditions, the Belarusian had to brake, causing a 7.5-ton truck driven by a 50-year-old man from Solingen to rear-end the slowing vehicle.
As a result of the collision, the Solingen man crashed into the concrete barrier on the left. The Belarusian driver, however, was unharmed and was able to leave the scene independently with his truck.
Traffic accident investigators took over the investigation, and the lane was fully closed from 14:20 to 19:30. The Solingen man was trapped in his vehicle and had to be extricated by firefighters. He was later airlifted to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The Belarusian's truck did not sustain significant damage and was not required to be recovered. The Solingen man's truck, however, had to be recovered from the scene.
Investigations into the cause of the accident are ongoing, but initial reports suggest that the Solingen man attempted to swerve to avoid the Belarusian's truck but was unable to do so, resulting in the collision.
The traffic disruptions caused by the incident were significant, and the lane was closed for several hours to allow for the investigation and clean-up of the accident scene.
