Nuremberg (dpa / lby) - A truck lost its load on Autobahn 9 and tore deep holes in the roadway.
The truck had loaded counterweights for cranes weighing ten tons, as the police announced on Sunday.
These were not secured.
In a bend on Autobahn 9 near the Nürnberg-Fischbach junction, the truck had got into a lean and lost part of its load.
A weight slipped over all the lanes and broke the guardrail.
The 60-year-old driver was uninjured in the accident on Saturday afternoon and brought his truck to a stop.
A 58-year-old driver had to apply emergency braking to avoid a collision with the cuboid.
A 19-year-old driver overlooked a car in front of him because of the dust that was blown up and drove into it.
These drivers were also uninjured.

The road was badly damaged.
The motorway maintenance authority has repaired potholes up to 30 centimeters deep.
The damage was initially estimated at around 50,000 euros.
Administrative offense proceedings had been initiated against the driver of the truck.
