On Friday night, a semitrailer truck came off the road on the A92 motorway near Moosburg and overturned.

The THW was on duty for six hours to reload the loaded car transmissions.

Moosburg - It is not yet clear how the accident happened.

One thing is certain: on Friday night, around 1.30 a.m., a trailer truck coming from Romania on the A92 in the direction of Munich came off the road to the right and overturned - between the Moosburg-Nord and -Süd junction.

The driver of the semitrailer, a 50-year-old Romanian, and his passenger, a 46-year-old Romanian, were, according to the Freising traffic police, "thrown around in their cab when they fell over".

The driver was slightly injured and his passenger was seriously injured.

Both were taken to a nearby hospital and hospitalized there.


At around 2.45 a.m. the THW Freising was alerted to load the car transmissions that the tractor-trailer had loaded into liquid-tight troughs.

The problem with the story: "The gearboxes were already filled with operating oil", reported Freising's THW boss Michael Wüst when asked by FT.

The reloading of the over 60 kilogram heavy gear was not only a "sweaty", but also a "rather greasy" affair - or, as Wüst put it: "quite a mess".

A total of 25 people in seven vehicles were on site to reload the transmissions and remove the transport racks.

All in all, it went “like clockwork”, said Wüst with a humorous tone.

The comrades were on duty until 9 a.m.

In order not to hinder the traffic on the autobahn too much, especially in the morning rush hour, only the necessary unloading was carried out during the night, said the Freising traffic police.

The truck was recovered on Friday afternoon.

According to the VPI, the damage to property should be “clearly in the hundreds of thousands”.

In addition, leaked operating materials presumably have to remove part of the soil at the accident site.

In addition to the THW, the Moosburg fire brigade and the Freising motorway maintenance department were also in action.
