Serious rear-end collision in Wolfenbüttel: car wedged under truck!

Wolfenbüttel.A dramatic rear-end collision shook the West industrial area on Wednesday morning! At 8:10 a.m. a car crashed into a parked truck with full force and became wedged under the heavy vehicle. The consequences were devastating: one person suffered serious injuries and had to be taken to hospital immediately.

The truck, a heavy multi-axle transporter, was parked in a parking lane for maintenance and installation of the railway's electrical contact lines. Fortunately, the driver was not in the vehicle when the accident occurred. The exact circumstances that led to this terrible incident are still unclear. The Wolfenbüttel police have started an investigation to clarify the cause of the accident.

The entire operation lasted about an hour, but the shockwaves from the accident will continue to resonate for a long time.
