VN24 - 02.11.2021 - Essen / Germany - Around 02:45 at night, a truck driver traveling on the A52 highway heard a loud bang on his vehicle. Presumably a tire blowout on the front axle caused him to yank the wheel, sending the truck out of control in the middle of a highway construction site. The driver had the presence of mind to steer against it, but broke through the center guard rail. Fortunately, there was no other vehicle on the opposite lane at the time. The accident caused the trailer of the truck, which was loaded with a container, to tip onto its side. The highway police had to completely close the highway in the direction of Düsseldorf. Traffic was temporarily able to pass to the left of the highway through the construction site. The recovery work was initially difficult because the truck was wedged between the guard rails and there was barely no wheel still intact on the vehicle. The highway maintenance department then had to remove the damaged guard rail. The driver of the truck escaped with a scare.
