Accident on the A6: the truck involved loses soot - the motorway is closed for several hours

The side wall of the truck was badly damaged by the accident.

This was then no longer ready to drive.

The loaded soot powder got through a hole on the roadway and had to be removed by the fire brigade.

Due to the recovery of the truck and its load, the clean-up work and the associated lockdown will probably continue until the late afternoon, according to the police report.

Traffic in the direction of Heilbronn will be diverted at the Schwabach-West junction.

The police recommend that you avoid a large area around the accident site.
