Expensive accident on the A2: on a rest area near Bielefeld, a truck driver caused a loss of millions on Saturday afternoon.
According to a statement from the police on Tuesday, the 36-year-old wanted to continue his journey in the direction of Dortmund, but overlooked several parked heavy transports when parking.
The reason given by the driver was that he was blinded by the sun.
His tractor collided with a wind turbine blade and damaged it.
The investigators estimate the property damage to be at least one million euros.
