VN24 - Kamen / Germany - An accident with a tragic outcome occurred in the morning on the A2 motorway at Kamener Kreuz (A2/A1). Directly at the exit of the onramp in the direction of Oberhausen the traffic had jammed. The driver of a semitrailer obviously recognized the situation too late and hit at the end of the traffic jam on the right lane a Dutch car which was driven by an older couple. The car hurled off to the right, but still got stuck at the right back corner of the car transporter in front of it and was massively crushed there. After resuscitation, rescue workers could only determine the death of the 70 year old female driver. Her 72-year-old co-driver was seriously injured was rushed to a hospital. The 47-year-old truck driver from Lithuania also was hospitalized. The 50-year-old Russian driver of the car transporter remained unharmed.
Unpleasant scenes at the edge of this fatal accident were the partly not forming of a rescue lane, so that emergency doctor and rescue service had to approach from a nearby bridge on foot over several hundred meters the place of action. Helpers got mercilessly stuck in the full circles and tangents of the Kamen cross.
A completely unaware truck driver, who had previously blocked the rescue lane and had also quarreled with the drivers of a tow service, had his keys taken from the vehicle by the local police, so that he could watch the entire accident from his cab seat to the end in the scorching heat, while the traffic jam, which was still in full blockage, was allowed to slowly pass the accident site.
