Video part 2 - the salvage
VN24 - 03.11.2020 - Unna / Germany - The 44-year-old driver of an semi-trailer truck loaded with two rolls of aluminum sheet metal (coils) weighing more than 11 tons apparently overlooked the end of a traffic jam on the A1 highway near Unna (NRW) at about 1:50 pm and hit the truck in front of him. He pushed that truck of a 62-year-old driver in front of him even further onto a BMW car of a 29-year-old woman, which was considerably damaged in the rear area. During the impact, two aluminum sheet metal coils, each weighing over 11 tons, came loose on the loading area of the vehicle responsible for the accident. While the front roller broke through the front wall of the trailer and pushed in the driver's cab, the second roller crashed through the tarpaulin off the loading area and landed on the highway. The 29-year-old BMW female driver and the 62-year-old truck driver were taken to a hospital with minor injuries. The 44-year-old suspected cause of the accident remained uninjured. The salvage and clean-up work lasted until the evening hours.
