VN24 - 25-01-2023 (D/M/Y) - Bönen NRW / Germany - In the early morning hours around 4:55 am, a 45-year-old female truck driver apparently disregarded a stop sign, and drove straight ahead on Edinsonstraße eastbound across an intersection in an industrial park without braking. This resulted in a collision with the car of a 36-year-old man who was driving northbound on Weetfelder Straße. As a result of the collision, the tractor-trailer was deflected to the right in such a way that it got into an inclined position and broke through the gate to a business property shortly after the intersection. There, the semitrailer crashed onto its side. Both persons sustained minor injuries and were taken to hospital after receiving initial medical treatment on site. The car was no longer roadworthy and had to be towed away. The recovery of the truck and the removal of the leaking fuel and the load of engine oil in canisters took several hours.
