A serious traffic accident took place in Werdohl this morning, July 3, 2025, which occurred around 8 a.m. on the B236. A 67-year-old driver of a VW Transporter collided head-on with an oncoming Daimler Benz truck.

Closure of the B236 and extensive clean-up work
The accident site was closed to traffic until shortly before 2 p.m., resulting in significant traffic jams and diversions. The fire brigade had their hands full scattering the leaking fuel and averting the danger for following road users. After the accident has been recorded, a specialist company will ensure that the road is thoroughly cleaned. The affected vehicles were then removed by a towing service.
Like current statistics from the Federal Statistical Office show, road safety is a recurring problem on Germany's roads. These accident statistics are important not only for politicians and traffic planners, but also for every individual who travels on the road. Continuous work is being done to improve the numbers and strengthen the infrastructure in order to minimize the causes of accidents.
Overall, the property damage from this incident is estimated to be in the low five-figure range. As the investigation progresses, those affected and their relatives will first have to deal with the consequences of this serious accident.
