Truck accident on the A6: Driver remains unharmed despite the spectacular crash

In the night of October 11, 2024 at around 2:30 a.m., a significant accident with a truck occurred on the A6 in the direction of Saarbrücken near Wattenheim. A 67-year-old driver from Neunkirchen has lost the tax of his 40-tonner, which caused the vehicle to get off the road and slipped down an embankment.

The truck landed on a field, which may have prevented worse damage because the soft floor acted as a brake. Unfortunately, the vehicle got into a critical inclination and required the help of a special crane to salvage. The mountains used a crane with a load -bearing capacity of 100 tons; Its boom was extended to an impressive 25 meters to safely set up the vehicle.

no injured, but investigations are

A stroke of luck was that the driver suffered no injuries in the incident. The Ruchheim motorway police has included the cause of the accident and is currently examining whether inattentiveness or fatigue could have played a role. Initial indications indicate that external factors, such as the slippery surface, could have contributed to the incident.

The rescue work is still underway and require considerable measures because traffic in this area is severely restricted - currently only a lane is free. After the truck is finally recovered, the route is cleaned by the motorway company before traffic can flow normally again. This situation has already led to the disability of the traffic, the drivers concerned is therefore advised to look for alternative routes.
