Pre-tract accident on B290: Slightly injured and oil disaster prevents!

B290, Tauberbischofsheim, Deutschland - Heilbronn (ots)

spectacular! On Monday evening, more precisely at 6:20 p.m., a dangerous incident occurred on federal road 290, which came out of nowhere! A saddle train, directed by a 66-year-old driver, wanted to turn around Distelhausen and Gerlachsheim on the Dreifahrigen Strasse. But he overlooked a Skoda who was on the left lane. The shocking collision left the 19-year-old driver of the car with minor injuries!

The crash not only left injured, but also massive damage to property worth around 18,000 euros! Suddenly the truck's hydraulic tank jumped up, and more than 100 liters of hydraulic oil flowed uncontrollably on the wet roads. The threat of disaster, in which the oil could get into the nearby Tauber, was just averted by the quick intervention by the fire brigade and the road maintenance department.

rescue at the last moment

The federal road had to be closed in both directions until 9:00 p.m., while the emergency services of the police, fire brigade (with over 20 committed helpers) and emergency services apparently sweated. A local diversion was quickly set up to lead the traffic and to avert further dangers. These are the dramatic details that show how quickly the situation can get out of control and how important the fast reactions of the rescue workers are!
