VN24 - 05-12-2023 (D/M/Y) - Fröndenberg / Germany - What an incredible stroke of luck the driver of an 18-ton truck had will probably only be realized when he sees these pictures. He was driving northbound on the B233 federal highway in Fröndenberg at around noon when, for whatever reason, he drifted to the left of his lane, first crossing the lane of oncoming traffic and then crashing into the wooded slope. Here, the truck felled two trees with a diameter of more than 80cm / 32inch, causing the load of several massive steel shafts weighing several tons to detach from the loading area and break through the front wall. Fortunately, the anchoring of the driver's cab broke and it tipped forward so that the steel parts slid along the driver's cab. A local resident and first aiders freed the driver from his cabin. He had suffered abrasions, bruises and cuts from broken glass, but was responsive. The ambulance service then took him to hospital. The road had to be closed until the evening hours for the recovery and clean-up work.
