Severe road collision on motorway 44 in Dortmund results in one individual sustaining injuries.
On August 29, 2025, a significant traffic accident occurred on the A44 motorway, heading towards Dortmund. The incident took place between the Lichtenau Westfalen exit and the Wünnenberg junction.
The accident involved a silo truck from Gelsenkirchen and a motorhome. The motorhome, while overtaking another vehicle, veered off the road, flipped over, and ended up in a ditch. Unfortunately, the 59-year-old driver from Dassel sustained severe injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital after receiving medical treatment at the scene.
Thankfully, the driver of the silo truck remained uninjured but also hit the guardrail after the collision. The incident led to the full closure of the A44 motorway for accident investigation and recovery operations until 20:17.
To provide further information, the contact details for the Bielefeld police control center and the Press and Public Relations team are available on their website. Outside of office hours, inquiries can be made to the control center. The head of the Police Headquarters Bielefeld, Police President Dr. Sandra Müller-Steinhauer, has been cited as the contact person in the press release.
In addition, the accident investigation was assisted by the PP Bielefeld's VU team. A diversion was set up on the A44 motorway to facilitate the flow of traffic.
Remarkably, two dogs were in the motorhome at the time of the accident. The fire brigade rescued them and took them to an animal shelter.
The exact cause of the accident is still under investigation. For press inquiries, please direct them to the Polizeipräsidium Bielefeld's Press and Public Relations team.
