Collision involving machinery malfunctioning near a kidney transplant site

In the heart of Herdecke, a traffic incident occurred at Nierkamp on Wednesday morning. The Fire Department Herdecke received a call at 10:32 AM about a traffic accident involving leaking hazardous materials.

Upon arrival, emergency services found a trailer lying on its side, carrying a large and heavy generator. The trailer had rolled down the street for unknown reasons, but the driver managed to pull the handbrake in time, preventing a potentially worse outcome.

The police were tasked with the recovery of the trailer and the scene, while the Fire Department absorbed the leaking hazardous materials at the scene. The exact nature of the hazardous materials was not specified, but the Fire Department successfully managed the situation within about 20 minutes.

After the hazard was contained, the Fire Department handed over the scene to the police. The search results do not provide the name of the driver of the truck involved in the incident.
