Chaos on the A4: Sprinter overturned ensures hours of traffic jams!
A dramatic incident caused massive traffic jams on the A4 on Thursday afternoon! A overturned sprinter ensured long waiting times when he turned from Eupen to the A44 towards Liège around 1:40 p.m. and lost control. The van tipped on the side and landed on the green strip behind a guardrail. Fortunately, the inmate, which was unharmed, could free himself from the driver's cab.
But the recovery of the vehicle turned out to be extremely complicated! The Cologne motorway police reported that a crane was needed to raise the sprinter over the road limitation. This led to an exceptionally long service period. In addition, the car was licked and diesel expired, which required an elaborate removal from the fire brigade and motorway master. The police finally ended around 6 p.m., but the effects on traffic were significant.
Traffic jam and salvage
The combination of the overturned vehicle and the leaked diesel led to a real traffic chaos on the A4. Drivers had to be patient, while the emergency services did everything they could to defuse the situation. The rescue was not only a technical challenge, but also a race against time to restore security on the highway as quickly as possible.
