Maintailautobahn A70: Truck crashes into motorhome without braking
The driver secured his vehicle according to regulations and stayed outside, probably to change a flat tire. In any case, this suggests a wheel wrench that was still visible on the tire. Shortly afterwards, a truck driver left his lane to the right for reasons that were still unexplained. According to
News5
, he rammed the motorhome standing there almost unchecked. The impact was so severe that the motorhome was almost completely torn apart.
"It is really a field of rubble that is well distributed over 250 to 300 meters," quoted
News5
Michael Will from the BRK district of Haßberge.
"The entire structure is torn up and is distributed over both lanes and here in the right embankment," continues Will.
According to initial findings, the driver of the motorhome suffered minor cuts and a shock.
He was taken to a hospital slightly injured.
The truck driver was uninjured.

Accident on the A70: great luck for motorhome drivers
What is certain is that the motorhome driver had a good deal of luck: "If the driver had stood right next to his vehicle on the front today or even sat in the car - it would certainly not have turned out so well for him," said BRK press spokesman Michael Will opposite
News5.
