injured in the event of an accident on the A4: rescue operation and traffic jam

A dramatic incident occurred on Thursday morning on the A4 in the direction of Aachen near the Eschweiler-West junction. A small van unexpectedly switched from the left lane to the right lane and collided with at least one other vehicle. The driver of an Audi lost control of his vehicle, which overturned and came to a standstill on the roof.

Two people were seriously injured in the accident, but luckily there is no danger to life. Another driver only suffered minor injuries. Rescue workers, including a rescue helicopter and several ambulances, were quickly on site to help the injured.

The A4 in the direction of Aachen had to be completely blocked until 8.40 a.m. due to the accident. After that, two traces could be released again, but there was still a kilometer -long traffic jam that extended to Langerwehe. To dissolve the traffic jam, the Eschweiler-Ost junction remained temporarily closed.
