Rettunggasse fails again: Drama after a serious accident on the A2!

Helmstedt-on December 9, 2024, around 1:00 p.m., there was a serious traffic accident between a car and a truck on the A2 between the Helmstedt-Center and Helmstedt-Center. Although the situation initially seemed under control, the situation was dramatic around 1:43 p.m. when a suitcase vehicle opened on a standing truck unchecked. The driver of the suitcase vehicle was seriously injured and trapped in the cab. To free it, the rescue workers needed around 45 minutes and were used with a hydraulic rescue device. The injured person was then flown to a hospital with a rescue helicopter, while the highway towards Hanover was completely closed, which led to considerable traffic disruptions. Information on the number of people or their state of health is currently not available, such as fireworld.at reported.

Before, on the same day at 7:15 a.m., there was another rear -end collision with a car and a truck near the Helmstedt rest area, such as regionalheute.de reported. A total of four people were involved in this incident, but fortunately nobody was caught. The emergency services examined three of the injured people, but everyone could stay on site and did not have to be taken to the hospital. After the accident, expiring equipment from the truck was another source of danger that could be captured quickly. The fire brigade Helmstedt and Barmke secured the scene of the accident and redirected the traffic so that the traffic jam could be kept under control. Nevertheless, the emergency services stayed here for around an hour and a half.
