For the second time within a week, a truck crashed in a construction site on the A24 between Hamburg and Berlin, causing the motorway to be completely closed for hours.
The truck came off the road on Wednesday morning in the kilometer-long construction site between the Schwerin motorway junction and the Neustadt-Glewe junction (Ludwigslust-Parchim district), as a spokesman for the Ludwigslust police station said.
Neustadt-Glewe - The driver was injured - how badly it was initially unclear.
Drivers in the direction of Berlin have to be prepared for an hour-long blockage again.
The diversion leads through the small town of Neustadt-Glewe, where a traffic light interferes with traffic, the spokesman said.
In a truck accident last Thursday not far from the current site of the accident, the traffic in Neustadt-Glewe was considerably jammed.
