A3 highway: Semi-truck flips, resulting in a prolonged 13-hour traffic disruption. - Tractor-trailer performs U-turn on A3 motorway - Thirteen-hour roadblock ensues
Hey there! Ever been stuck in a traffic jam thanks to an overturned truck? Yeah, that happened on the A3 between Biebelried and Kitzingen. This juicy mess occurred late at night, with a truck loaded with tomatoes and cucumbers tumbling over.
As if that wasn't enough, the accident caused a partial closure of the A3 towards Nuremberg, lasting approximately 13 hours, as reported by the cops. In the afternoon, they finally gave the all-clear. Nearly 26 tons of produce ended up being transferred to another truck manually.
The 54-year-old driver couldn't hang on to his articulated lorry, leading to the crash and its trailer skidding onto the right lane within the construction zone. The driver and his 46-year-old passenger were rushed to the hospital with minor injuries initially reported as severe. Thankfully, they're both on the mend now.
A crane was called in to help right the truck and clear the scene. However, the cause of the accident and the extent of the damage remain a mystery, regrettably.
