Truck accident on A4: dangerous goods ensure massive traffic jams in the Weimarer Land

In Weimarer Land, traffic has come to a standstill! A spectacular truck accident on the A4 in the direction of Dresden ensures massive traffic jams between the Magdala and Apolda junctions. A 55-year-old driver came off the road for unknown reasons and fell down the embankment, losing around 10 tons of dangerous goods. Tragic: some of these substances were damaged in the accident, so that dangerous chemicals are exposed.

Although the directional lane to Frankfurt a. M. could be released after five hours, the direction of travel Dresden remains completely closed until late in the evening! The driver himself was only slightly injured, but four first aiders, including two rescue workers, had to be taken to the hospital for respiratory irritation. Travelers are urgently asked to bypass the scene of the accident and adjust to significant traffic disruptions on the diversion routes.
