VN24 - Bottrop / Germany - For reasons still unknown, a fully loaded concrete mixer truck left the road to the right on Tuesday at 14:33 on the Hochfeld road at the level of the Südfriedhof cemetery and got onto the grass verge. It skidded back onto the carriageway and tipped with the right side of the vehicle onto the road. Part of the 11-tonne load leaked out. Two cranes and a tow truck were used to straighten up the truck. The concrete mixer was no longer operational. On Tuesday, the clean-up work and salvage operation continued into the evening hours. The road was closed for a total of six hours and was reopened at 8:30 pm. The 32-year-old driver of the concrete mixer was examined in hospital after the accident and was admitted to hospital as a precaution. According to his initial statements, he had to avoid an oncoming vehicle. He was unable to give a description of the vehicle allegedly causing the accident.
