VN24 - 23.03.2022 - Unna A1 / Germany - A rear-end collision occurred at around 11:43 h on the A1 freeway near Unna. At the level of milepost 320, a tailback of several trucks had formed on the right of three lanes southbound in the direction of Cologne. The driver of an articulated truck apparently failed to notice this and collided with the truck in front of him. While the other truck was able to continue its journey with only minor damage, the tractor-trailer that had collided with it came to a halt with considerable damage. Due to the force of the accident, the tractor's fifth-wheel plate was torn out of its fastenings and the steered rear axle of the trailer turned sideways. With a lot of technical effort, the tractor could be separated. The entire fifth wheel got stuck on the kingpin of the trailer. The tractor and trailer had to be towed away by a recovery company.
