VN24 - 02-06-2022 - Dortmund / Germany - The accident occurred westbound on the A2 freeway in Dortmund at about 12:25 hrs. For reasons that are, of course, completely unexplained from the police's point of view, the driver of a truck noticed the end of a traffic jam on the right lane too late. In an attempt to avoid the tractor-trailer in front of him by steering to the left, his vehicle anyway collided sideways with the rear of the "vehicle in front". Both tractor-trailers became wedged into each other and considerable property damage resulted. Both drivers were examined by a doctor at the scene, but remained uninjured in the accident. The fuel tank of the truck that caused the accident ruptured and leaked a large amount of diesel, which seeped onto the road and into the soil at the side of the road. During the accident investigation, it was discovered that both trucks were carrying the same load and were operated by the same company. The recovery and cleanup operations continued well into the afternoon.
