Rescue alley on A2: Fire brigade with serious problems after accident!

Helmstedt, Deutschland - A serious accident on the A2 motorway near Helmstedt once again shows the dramatic consequences of a missing rescue alley. A car and a truck collapsed on Monday, whereupon a van crashed into another truck. During the first accident, the driver of the van was seriously injured and had to be freed from the wreck with heavy equipment. After a complex rescue, the transport to the hospital took place with a helicopter, such as NDR reported .

The fire brigade had immense difficulties to reach the scene of the accident because the emergency alleys were again "an absolute disaster". Many trucks blocked the road in several rows. The fire chief even had to instruct the emergency services to use the blocked opposite lane for their journey, which led to valuable loss of time. "The faster we get through, the faster the rescue work is done and the traffic can flow again," said spokesman Alexander Weis, and that illustrates the urgency of the situation.

Rettunggasse: life -saving and necessary

The emergency lane is a crucial element in road traffic, especially on highways. If blue light vehicles are in use, drivers are legally obliged to immediately create space. According to the road traffic regulations, vehicles on the highway must form a rescue alley before emergency vehicles approach. This information is essential because many road users do not always know how to behave in traffic jams. As The fire brigade Fürth explained , false behavior and the blocking of the path can lead to fines and even advertisements. In an emergency situation, every moment can be crucial when it comes to saving human life and organizing help quickly.
