27.04.2021 - VN24 - Lane change with serious consequences - truck accident on the A1

VN24 - 27.04.2021 - Unna / Germany - On Tuesday (April 27), a serious traffic accident occurred on the A1 freeway between the Dortmund/Unna interchange and the Kamen Zentrum junction. Three people were injured in the accident, two of them seriously.
At around 1:35 p.m., a 33-year-old truck driver from Poland was driving his tractor-trailer on the middle lane of the three-lane A1 in the direction of Bremen (northbound) despite an existing ban on overtaking. When changing lanes to the right lane, he apparently overlooked the stuck traffic in front of him and hit the truck of a 43-year-old driver without braking. Due to the force of the impact, the tractor-trailer of the 33-year-old driver was deflected to the right and crashed into the crash barrier. Here, the truck came to a halt in an inclined position in the area of the adjacent embankment. The man trapped in the cab had to be freed by the fire department.
A 42-year-old driver, who was traveling in the right-hand lane at the same time with his small truck, had to avoid the scene of the accident and drove into the middle lane. In doing so, he apparently overlooked the car of a 60-year-old man approaching from behind, which crashed into the motor vehicle with its passenger side at the height of the drawbar. The 62-year-old female passenger in the car was seriously injured. Rescue helicopters airlifted the seriously injured driver of the tractor-trailer and the female passenger of the passenger car to hospitals. The driver of the car was also taken to hospital by ambulance as a precaution. The others involved were uninjured.
The A1 highway had to be completely closed in the direction of Bremen for about 6 hours while the accident was being investigated and the semitrailer was being recovered with the aid of a crane. Extensive closures from the Dortmund/Unna intersection led to a peak traffic jam of about 15 kilometers.

Ma in Germania su questa autostrada , fanno sempre incidenti ?? Dove e' finita la tanto famosa precisione tedesca ?!??

[@derekantill3721]

Usual professional recovery by the Widliczek recovery crew, on this occasion assisted by a crane. Well done. Hope the injured can fully recover from their injuries.

[@ref69]

Big thumbs up for the First Responders and Clean up Crews. Much Respect!!! 👍👍

[@tomatoes3]

VN24, one of your best yet, great video work. Nice to see such professional work by the recovery teams as well .Good job that tree was there otherwise I'm sure the driver would have been killed if the truck went over.

[@tomatoes3]

@tony biddle Indeed Tony, can you imagine this in the UK the road would have been closed for hrs.

Sehr interessantes Video. Vielen Dank.

Зачем такие сложности? вполне хватило бы одного эвакуатора...

[@Butlerbob]

Translate from Russia language: Why go to all that trouble? One tow truck would have been enough... answer howe longer thay work how more they get paid so simpel as that. translate in Russia: ответьте, как дольше они работают, как больше им платят, вот так просто.

[@AvtoSpecNaz]

@@Butlerbob В России страховка почти ничего не покрывает, а это значит, что все проблемы ложатся на водителя и владельца автомобиля, а это дорого, когда много спецтехники, как вы правильно сказали, много денег, поэтому мы понимаем ситуацию, работаем в одной машине, так клиенту проще, но на самом деле там ничего сложного нет, мой опыт эвакуации грузовиков-26 лет!!Я знаю, о чем говорю. In Russia, insurance almost does not cover anything, which means that all the problems fall on the driver and the owner of the car, and it is expensive when a lot of special equipment, as you correctly said, a lot of money, so we understand the situation, we work in one car, so it is easier for the client, but in fact there is nothing complicated there, my experience of truck evacuation is 26 years!!I know what I'm talking about.

[@גרישהגורבצקי]

@@AvtoSpecNaz два эвакуатора..40 минут работы..все у них слишком сложно,много техники..18 лет стажа грузовых эвокуаций

[@julianover8899]

I'm always surprised at how many people are needed for these recoveries and how long it seems to take. Compare it with the videos by Ron Pratt in Missouri - he uses fewer people and much less machinery and gets the job done more quickly.

[@garethjones9497]

I can think of 10 Midwest Truck jobs involving one semi where Ron has used every piece of equipment he has and thats more than one this job so its horses for courses or as Ron keeps saying there are millions of ways to make ten everyone of them right, ten being truck recovered and everybody goes home in one piece.

[@christopherlovelock9104]

Thank God for those few tress, - otherwise I think the truck driver would be meeting him in person. I think a bit more 'protection' is needed along that piece of road, - if they are going to build it that high, especially with 'factories' and people working below.

[@jamescampbell7780]

Surely having a crane available meant that the truck could have been lifted instead of dragging it!

7:00 - What are the green screens used for?

[@johnniewelbornjr.8940]

My guess (having seen these used in other European footage I've seen in the past) is to prevent the passing traffic from looking at the scene. Wish they used such screens in the US, for US drivers often create additional accidents from slowing down just to look while passing the opposite direction. smh

[@VN24media]

It is a protection against rubbernecks and is supposed to keep the traffic in flow

[@christiang.9485]

Du könntest so kotzen, wenn sie Sichtschutzwände aufstellen müssen - warum zum Geier kann man da nicht eine Videokamera aufstellen, die den Gegenverkehr filmt - und dann nach Auswertung des Videos jeden Gaffer oder auch die wo da teils bis auf den Stand runter bremsen einfach anzeigen. Ich glaub mit Wände aufstellen, ist es wie mit dem, dem schleichenden Fahrvermögen mit Geschwindigkeitsbeschränkungen zu begegnen, es kostet nur Geld und Manpower und bringt nichts - oder bewirkt eher sogar das Gegenteil. Nur H. Scheuer kapiert das halt nicht, was wirklich auf den Straßen passiert - und wenn er dann mal was tut oder handelt, dann meist komplett in der falschen Richtung - also besser wäre gar kein Verkehrsminister als so einer - ich meine wie blind muss er denn die le. Jahre gewesen sein?

[@Maschinengirl]

Why they put so much resource and labour into to build that pointless fence?

[@almircatic1976]

[@christiang.9485]

Leider ja, seit ich mal vor Jahren mitbekommen habe, dass da ein LKW Fahrer eine 4 köpfige Familie ausgerottet hat, die nichts dafür konnte - denke ich jemand wo ein Stauende übersieht, fährt hoffentlich auf ein Panzer auf und stirbt dabei - sorry, aber das ist noch gerechter, als wenn der Fahrer 1 km weiter gekommen wäre, und dabei eine junge Familie ausgerottet hätte. Und ganz ehrlich, ich würde mich für mich nichts anderes wünschen, sollte mir je so ein Fahrfehler passieren, dann hoffe ich trifft es nur einen Betonpfeiler und den Bestatter.
