Train collision involving a disabled wagon train
A significant traffic accident occurred on the A4 near Gotha-Boxberg, heading towards Dresden, on Friday morning. The incident involved a truck and a stationary articulated lorry on the hard shoulder.
Unfortunately, the collision resulted in an injury to the 63-year-old truck driver. The driver of the broken-down vehicle was unharmed. The accident also caused damage to the stationary articulated lorry and its load, which consisted of several paint containers.
Upon impact, these containers leaked and spread paint across the road surface, contaminating it. The tarpaulin of the stationary lorry tore open as a result of the collision, causing further damage to its load.
Extensive cleaning work was required to clear the road, necessitating the use of a road sweeper. The Dresden-bound carriageway was closed for approximately 90 minutes due to rescue and recovery operations.
The Thuringian Police are the authority responsible for handling inquiries about this accident. The Autobahn Police Station Press Office can be contacted for further information. Emails can be sent to [email protected], and Natalie Meier can be reached at 036601 70103.
It is not specified in the available search results who the police officer or spokesperson from the highway police station at the Thuringian police is responsible for providing updates on this incident. However, the website for the Thuringian Police Autobahn Police Station is http://www.thueringen.de/th3/polizei/autobahnpolizeiinspektion/index.aspx.
The total estimated material damage from the accident is 30,000 euros. The driver of the truck failed to notice the stationary lorry due to inattention and collided with it.
We hope for the speedy recovery of the injured driver and remind all road users to remain vigilant and attentive while driving.
