According to a police spokesman, the recovery of the wreck turned out to be very difficult, the vehicle had to be partially dismantled for removal.
According to the findings, the semi-trailer truck loaded with vegetables and pallets was on the B43 in the direction of Kelsterbach when it caught fire.
How could that happen?
The smoke developed so thick that the column could still be seen for miles.
Numerous drivers and residents of neighboring districts dialed the emergency number.
Apparently the truck went off the lane when changing lanes and collided with a lane divider.
Then he went up in flames.
It now needs to be clarified how this could happen so quickly. The driver was slightly injured, but was able to get to safety from the fire. The B43 had to be closed during the extinguishing work, long traffic jams formed. As the police announced, the roadway also has to be laboriously cleaned afterwards.
