Karlsruhe (dpa / lsw) - The police stopped an “absolutely unsafe” truck on Autobahn 5 near Karlsruhe.
The police noticed the truck loaded with dangerous goods on Friday because the warning signs were not properly attached, the police said.
During the inspection, the officers discovered serious deficiencies and consulted an expert.
He found that the brake discs had cracked and the anti-lock braking system had failed.
In addition, the steering was knocked out and the emission control did not work.
The frame and all axles of the semi-trailer were torn.
The 50-year-old truck driver had put curtains and decorations on the windshield, thereby restricting his field of vision.
He had to leave a security deposit and the journey was forbidden.
