VN24 - Hamm/Bockum - Ascheberg (Germany) - In the early afternoon around 3:04 pm on the A1 freeway an semi-trailer truck started to swerve, drove into the crash barriers and then crashed onto its side. It blocked the entire roadway northbound, resulting in a full closure in the direction of Bremen. The driver was taken to a hospital with injuries. The complete load of 5-liter beer barrels had to be cleared by a salvage company before the truck could be placed back on its wheels with the help of a crane and a tow truck. The salvage operations dragged on until the early morning. Around 04:30 a.m. the police were able to reopen the blocked direction. Still in the afternoon, cars were allowed to drive back in the traffic jam until the last exit. Truck drivers had to spend the night on the highway.
