VN24 - 23.02.2022 - Luenen / Germany - On the federal highway B54, at around 15:40 h, there was apparently a long tailback at a traffic light intersection. The driver of a tipper trailer possibly noticed too late that the truck in front of him braked or was already stopped. He hit the rear of the vehicle. The force of the impact caused the entire driver's cab to detach from the tractor and tip over to the front. The driver was taken to a hospital with minor injuries. In order to bring an emergency physician to the scene, a rescue helicopter was deployed, which landed on the road not far from the accident site. The extensive salvage and cleanup operations dragged on into the evening hours. The driver's cab had to be lifted with a crane.
