A Massive Crash on the A4 Snarls Traffic Near Gotha Heading Towards Frankfurt
Traffic Gridlocked for Hours on A4 near Frankfurt due to Accident - Traffic Standstill on A4 towards Frankfurt Due to Accident, Remains Shut for Hours
Let's spill the tea about the colossal pile-up on the A4 that left drivers cursing a blue streak for hours upon end! On a gloomy Monday, a truck loaded with empty glass bottles and a construction vehicle had a bone-crunching smash-up on the A4, close to Gotha. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured or killed, as per the police reports. However, the cleanup and clearance of the shattered mess took more than seven grueling hours. The snafu had the A4 delayed like a jammed flytrap, with traffic snarling at the Gotha-Boxberg exchange.
Intriguingly, some construction work was underway on the right-hand side of the A4 in the wee hours of the morning. The right lane was cordoned off, and a sign vehicle was deployed to warn drivers.
The Harrowing Collision
The 38-year-old truck driver may have been a wee bit too engrossed in his tunes or snacking on some fast food. Whichever it was, he proved to be a tad slow on the uptake when he spotted the construction site, causing him to ram headlong into the middle lane. The impact was such that the side of the trailer tore open like a meat grinder, sending the precious cargo cascading across all three lanes!
