A5 closed after accident involving meat truck - Truck Spill Causes Major A5 Motorway Disruption
A serious incident on the A5 motorway between Friedberg and Bad Homburg has caused significant disruption to commuter traffic. A truck carrying a large load of meat lost control and spilled its cargo, leading to multiple lanes being closed early Tuesday morning.
The accident involved a 55-year-old truck driver who, fortunately, escaped uninjured. The police were called to investigate the incident due to the substantial traffic disruption it caused. Both right lanes heading towards Frankfurt remained closed for several hours while cleanup efforts were underway. The investigation revealed that the truck, laden with 16 tons of meat, lost control for unknown reasons, causing the cargo to spill onto the road. Motorists were advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays.
The police expect the impact on commuter traffic to be significant, with delays likely to continue throughout the morning. The cause of the accident remains under investigation. Motorists are urged to check traffic updates and plan their journeys accordingly.
