The Munich fire brigade moves out to free a stuck truck from an underpass in Ramersdorf.

The emergency services can hardly believe what happens then. 

Munich - The fact that a truck gets stuck under a bridge due to its height is actually not an unusual task for the Munich fire brigade.

On the contrary, it happens quite often.

But what the emergency services experienced on Friday morning (October 22nd, 2021) in Munich * -Ramersdorf is hard to believe if you haven't seen it yourself.

A truck driver driving his vehicle out of town on Werinherstrasse clearly overestimated the height of a bridge and promptly got stuck under it - so far, so unspectacular.

As the professional fire brigade reported in the afternoon, the truck had become so wedged that it could no longer come out of the underpass alone and asked the fire brigade for help.

The emergency services moved in, let the air out of the tires and lowered the truck to free it.

That too: not an exceptional approach.

Incredible double accident in Munich-Ramersdorf: Two trucks are stuck under a bridge

But then the unbelievable: While the emergency services were busy with the truck, there was suddenly a bang on the opposite lane.

A second truck was apparently too high for the underpass in Ramersdorf * - and was also stuck.

The result was an unintentional full closure of Werinherstrasse.

It is not known whether the driver was amused by the mishap of his colleague on the other side and therefore did not pay attention to the height of the truck and the bridge.

However, the crazy coincidence in Ramersdorf did not result in double work for the fire fighters.

The second truck driver was able to lower his vehicle sufficiently to reverse out of the underpass without causing major damage.

According to information from the fire brigade, both lanes were clear again after about an hour.

The first truck was so badly damaged by the mishap in Munich that it was initially unable to continue its journey.

Fortunately, nobody was injured in the accidents.
