Heavy transport accident on A31: rescue workers in action!
Raststätte Ems-Vechte, 49809 Lingen, Deutschland - On January 16, 2025, a serious accident occurred on the A31 motorway, shortly before 10 p.m., between the Lingen junctions and Wietmarschen, Höhe Rest area Ems-Vecht. A heavy transport with a wind power wing collided with a car, a Volkswagen. The heavy transport wanted to drive north from the rest area to the motorway in the direction of travel when it came to the collision.
In the accident, the occupant of the car was seriously injured and had to be freed from the vehicle by the Lohne fire brigade. The person was then immediately transported to the hospital. The roadway remained completely closed during the rescue measures, which according to current information lasted until at least 11:40 p.m. Drivers were redirected to the U17. Further information about the incident will be available promptly, such as waslosin.de reported.
Problems with heavy transports in Germany
The transport costs for a whole wind turbine can be over one million euros, and many transport routes are problematic due to narrow roads and poor conditions. In addition, heavy -duty transports often have to drive at night, which makes planning difficult. Slow approval procedures significantly impair the federal government's goals for the energy transition. A standardization of the approval processes and a digital registration system should tackle these challenges in the future.
