Terrible sole accident: saddle tractor tilts on A1 near Wittlich

On Monday afternoon, October 21, 2024, there was a spectacular sole accident on the A1, between the Wittlich motorway junction and the Wittlich-Mittlich-Mittlich junction. The driver, who was apparently inattentive, lost control and slipped several meters through the unpaved ditch before the tractor overturned. Fortunately, the driver was unharmed, and a rescue helicopter that was approaching could turn off again.

But the difficulties did not end: Another sole accident occurred a few meters before the accident site, in which a car collided with the middle protection plank. It is still being examined whether this incident is related to the truck accident. The fire brigades from Wittlich, Landscheid, Burg/Salm and Salmtal as well as the Schweich motorway police were deployed to secure the scene of the accident. According to initial estimates, the total damage of both accidents could amount to a high five -digit amount, especially as www.rhein-zeitung.de reports .
