Accident on the A3: truck loses around 22,000 liters of whey

According to a police spokesman, the accident happened on Sunday morning.

The accident site was between the Wiesentheid and Geiselwind junctions.

Road renewals are also currently being carried out in this area.

Therefore, the lanes were relocated and the road provided with provisional borders.

It is possible that the truck driver who had an accident in the area on Sunday morning did not see this or saw it too late.

In any case, according to the police, he skidded and then fell over in the construction site area.

The trailer contained 22,000 liters of whey.

This spread across the entire roadway.

The police also said that the rescue was particularly difficult and would take a few hours, which was particularly unfavorable for the return journey on Sunday.

The police released the following information about the exact course of the accident:

The truck driver had come to the right of the crash barrier in the construction site area for an unexplained reason.

He then skidded and crashed into the makeshift central barrier.

The vehicle overturned and has been lying across the freeway ever since.

The truck driver sustained minor injuries in the accident.

He touched another truck.

According to the police, there are two other injured, one of them is the other truck driver. 

Accident on the A3: Widely avoid the scene of the accident

It was not immediately known how long the freeway would be closed.

However, the recommendation to drive around the area of ​​the accident as far as possible was renewed at 11.12 in the BR.

A diversion via the B286 and B22 has already been set up.

However, it also accumulates there in the Wiesentheid area.

It's important to keep a cool head in the high temperatures and drink enough.
