Tragic accident on A2: 28-year-old dies in heavy crash!

In the night of Sunday, December 22, 2024, a tragic traffic accident occurred on Autobahn 2 between the Hannover Kreuz Buchholz and the Hannover Ost motorway junction, which cost a 28-year-old car driver from Hanover. The incident happened around 1:30 a.m. when a vehicle skiddown at Hanover-Lahe, the guardrails rammed and then stopped on the road. A subsequent truck was able to brake in time, but a car that was driving behind did not recognize the hazardous length in time and clamped under the truck's saddle trailer. For the young man who was in his heavily deformed car, all help came too late - he was still at the scene of the accident, like both Langenhagener News as well as report.

Large deployment of fire brigade and emergency services

Due to the severity of the accident, major alarm was immediately triggered for the fire brigade and the emergency services. With a total of 96 emergency services and 19 vehicles, including several voluntary fire departments, the rescue team is moving up. The rescue measures were extremely complicated: a fire brigade crane had to raise the semitrailer, while the crashed vehicle was carefully pulled out using a winch. Despite the intensive efforts of the emergency services, the 28-year-old could not be saved. The operation at the scene of the accident ended at around 4:00 a.m., whereby the Autobahn 2 had to be completely blocked in the direction of Berlin throughout the rescue and recovery work, as also reported by Presseportal

The police have already started an investigation into the exact course of the accident. The complex rescue operation and the full blocking of the highway underline the dramatic circumstances of this fatal accident on the A2 near Hanover.
