Total damage of around 40,000 euros
The Bulgarian was slightly injured in the collision.
The emergency doctor and rescue service treated the truck driver on site.
The man was then taken to a hospital.
According to initial findings, he suffered bruises in the chest area, according to police.
The vehicles suffered total damage of around 40,000 euros.
Three fire departments in action
The recovery of the trucks was so difficult that the B472 had to be closed for over four hours.
Both trucks were badly damaged and were leaking fuel.
Therefore, the Habach, Sindelsdorf and Penzberg fire departments were called in for extensive closure and diversion work as well as technical assistance.
The Weilheim road maintenance department subsequently set up a diversion so that the trucks could be removed by the towing service.
Traffic was diverted until around 6 p.m.
