Bridge after A7 accident only one lane until the end of the year-driver unharmed!

A serious accident with a large van on the A7 ensures continuing restrictions. A bridge between the Horster Dreieck and Seevetal-Fleestedt was significantly damaged by the impact of the van and remains only a single lane by the end of the year, according to Autobahn GmbH Nord. The truck driver, 46 years old, transported oversized mechanical components that exceeded the approved dimensions and left the prescribed route, which led to the accident. Fortunately, the driver was unharmed, but the cargo fell into a locked construction site area.

The rescue of the parts only took place after the morning traffic on Monday with a crane. When inspecting the bridge, the employees found that a thorough examination of the damage was necessary. The first exams indicate that the load -bearing capacity of the bridge is not impaired, but this is regarded as a pure precaution, explained a spokeswoman for the motorway company. The traffic on the A7 itself remained unaffected during the incident, but it turns out that the consequences of the accident will stop for some time according to information from www.shz.de .
