Storm in Hesse: Chaos on streets and rail tracks

storm in Hesse ensures numerous missions

The violent storm, which moved over Hesse on Wednesday evening, led to a variety of police operations. Especially in Offenbach and the surrounding area were mainly pushed up on the streets, which led to dangerous situations. An S-Bahn underpass also had to be temporarily blocked in Dietzenbach due to the heavy rain.

in Hanau and in the Mainz-Kinzig district, a total of around 30 missions were reported due to the storm. In addition to overflowing gully covers, trees also fell over that led to property damage. The police were also busy clearing flooded roads and fueling objects flying around. Aquaplaning occasionally caused traffic accidents, but luckily without injuries.

On the A45 and A66 motorways, emergency services had to clear a total of five fallen trees from the lanes to ensure the safety of road users. Especially on the federal road 43a between Hanau-Hauptbahnhof and Hanau-Wolfgang, the water was temporarily knee-high over a length of around 200 meters, which led to a closure towards Fulda.
