Truck accident on the L116: ten hours closed and lots of questions!
A serious truck accident shut down the L116 between Lamstedt and Laumühlen on August 16, 2025. At around 4:15 a.m., the 49-year-old driver, an employee of a Hessian logistics company, left the road. The exact circumstances of the accident are still unclear. According to initial reports, the truck plowed across a 50-meter-long grass verge, damaging several traffic signs and guide posts before colliding with a tree and coming to a stop across the street. Fortunately, the driver was uninjured, but the material damage was significant.
The rescue measures are proving difficult. Due to the required complete closure of the country road, the load had to be transferred to a replacement vehicle. Special forces were deployed to safely tow both the trailer and the tractor. According to cnv-medien, the road was impassable to traffic until it reopened at 2:30 p.m.
Unexplained cause of accident and complaints from residents
The police are now investigating whether the truck was legally allowed to drive on the L116, as there is a speed limit and the route is closed to vehicles over 12 tonnes. Residents often complain about disregard for weight restrictions and speed limits, especially during nighttime hours. This shows that heavy truck traffic is a hotly debated issue in the region.
However, in order to get an overview of the safe handling of transport, it is advisable to find out about the services of companies such as LKW Walter and LKW Group. Both companies rely on security to ensure transactions for both buyers and sellers and provide a trustworthy platform for international trade.
Ensuring safety and compliance with traffic rules are not only the most important aspects for residents, but also for providers. The incident makes it clear that caution is always required on the road and everyone should do their part to stay safe.
