VN24 - 19-05-2022 - Dortmund A2 / Germany - In a very serious accident on the A2 freeway near Dortmund at around 09:30 a. m., a 7.49-ton truck was pushed by the truck behind it onto a tractor-trailer in front of it, which had come to a stop at the end of an eastbound traffic jam. The cab buckled backwards, broke through its own headboard and laid on its own bed, while the cassis and engine became wedged under the trailer of the truck in front. The 67-year-old driver was massively trapped between them. The mobile crane of the Dortmund fire department was apparently unable to lift the semitrailer of the tractor-trailer together with the load a little in order to free the person. Therefore, two coils, each weighing 12 tons, had to be lifted from the loading area and placed on the highway. Then the trailer could be lifted and the wreckage pulled out from under the trailer, and the driver, who had already deceased in the meantime, could be recovered. Afterwards, a towing company took care of clearing the accident site. A mobile crane had to be called in again to lift the two abandoned coils onto a truck. The cleanup and clearing work continued into the afternoon.
