VN24 - Hagen / Germany - Two men were injured, one of them seriously, in a traffic accident involving three trucks on the A45 motorway near Hagen at noon on Tuesday (3 March). The accident led to blockades for several hours. The accident had occurred around 1:35 pm in the area of the construction site between the Schwerte-Ergste exit and the Hagen motorway junction, in the middle of the Lennetal bridge in the direction of Frankfurt. At that time, according to initial witness statements, a 57-year-old tractor-trailer driver was driving his truck in the right lane. For reasons as yet unknown, he overlooked one end of the traffic jam and hit the rear of a 48-year-old dump-trailer driver's semi that had just stopped in front of him. His vehicle was in turn pushed onto the truck of a 53-year-old big rig driver.
In the accident, the 57-year-old was trapped in his vehicle and had to be rescued by the fire brigade with serious injuries. An ambulance rushed him to a hospital. The 53-year-old sustained minor injuries. The motorway A45 in the direction of Frankfurt was completely closed until about 3:30 pm. After that, only one lane was open until about 4:35 pm. In the direction of Dortmund, the lane was closed until about 3:30 p.m. due to the landing of a rescue helicopter.
The police estimate the resulting damage to property at approximately 20,000 (!) Euros.
