Turbine collision instigated by rainfall in Wörrstadt
In an unexpected turn of events on Monday afternoon, a street sweeper operating on the B420 near Worms experienced a mishap. According to the Worms Police Directorate, the incident occurred around 5:05 PM.
A 51-year-old man from Frankfurt was driving the street sweeper at the time. As he was heading towards the roundabout at the Worms truck stop, a vehicle ahead of him necessitated an abrupt stop. To avoid a rear-end collision, the man steered his street sweeper to the right onto an unpaved grass strip. Unfortunately, this action caused the street sweeper to tip over.
The road where the incident occurred was immediately closed, and police and firefighters were present at the scene for several hours. A tow truck service was called to remove the street sweeper, but the extent of the damage is not yet known.
Fortunately, the driver of the street sweeper left the vehicle unassisted and unharmed. The heavy rain shower that had fallen shortly before had made the road wet and slippery, which may have contributed to the incident.
At the time of writing, further details about the incident are not available. For more information, it is recommended to contact local news sources or the Worms Police Directorate directly.
This incident involving a street sweeper tipping over on the B420 near Worms could potentially be classified as a car-accident under general-news.
