Dramatic accident on BAB 8: Two injuries and 8 km traffic jam!

Bundesautobahn 8, Sindelfingen, Deutschland - A traffic accident on Bundesautobahn 8 led to a considerable traffic jam and two injured people on Friday morning. At around 7:00 a.m. the incident occurred between the Stuttgart cross and the Sommerhofen parking lot when a 38-year-old truck driver did not notice an Opel driving on the right lane when changing the lane.

The collision with the truck turned the Opel around its own axis and was rejected on the left lane. Another accident occurred there: an 65-year-old Audi driver who was traveling properly could no longer dodge in time and also collided with the Opel. Ultimately, the vehicle was thrown back to the right and stopped on the hard shoulder.
