Bad Homburg (dpa / lhe) - After an accident with a horse truck on the Autobahn 5 shortly before the Bad Homburg Cross, a seriously injured animal was euthanized on Friday.

Two people were also slightly injured, as the fire department announced.

The traffic in the direction of Kassel has in the meantime jammed for several kilometers. 

According to the information, a pickup truck had hit a horse truck.

The latter was in turn pushed onto a truck.
