Hey there! Let's dive into some recent highway happenings.
A 25-year-old woman had a nasty spill on the A4 near Erfurt, aiming for Frankfurt. According to the police, she faultlessly moved into the center lane, disregarding the oncoming traffic. A 31-year-old driver couldn't steer clear, ultimately colliding with her vehicle, resulting in a heart-stopping rollover.
The young lady was shipped off to the hospital with major injuries. The estimated damage? A hefty 12,000 euros. The highway came to a complete standstill for a gut-wrenching 2.5 hours, with all three lanes responding only after some time.
Now, hold onto your hats, ‘cause things got even wilder. The ensuing traffic jam led to another accident – a trucker failing to spot a slowing hazardous material carrier up ahead and smashing right into it. Thankfully, neither driver suffered injuries. Still, the hydrocarbon-loaded truck wasn't that lucky – with damages estimated at about 70,000 euros.
This subsequent crash caused yet another agonizing halt of the Frankfurt-bound lane, earning an extra 1.5 hours on the clock. Further recovery operations could continue to snarl up traffic flow.
So, sadly, the lady's serious crash led to a substantial financial blow. Tragically, another accident in the traffic jam ignited by the initial crash only compounded these losses.
Now, while the query didn't call for it, a heads-up that other regions in Germany have reported traffic crashes and roadworks, such as on the A1 highway between Sereetz and Pansdorf, and Neustadt i.H.-Mitte and Scharbeutz[3]. Keep an eye on traffic updates for the latest on these areas.
