Taunusstein / Bad Schwalbach (dpa / lhe) - A truck driver was trapped while handling his vehicle and was fatally injured.

The 63-year-old was probably busy in Taunusstein (Rheingau-Taunus district) on Friday, coupling his parked truck trailer to the tractor, the police in Bad Schwalbach said.

For a previously unexplained cause, he was trapped between the vehicles.

An expert should now reconstruct the accident.

The police are looking for witnesses.
