VN24 18032024 (D/M/Y) Schalksmühle A45 / Germany A man has been injured in a traffic accident on the A45 freeway near Lüdenscheid. According to initial investigations, a 59yearold driver was driving his truck southbound on the A45 towards Frankfurt at around 07:15. Between the HagenSüd and LüdenscheidNord junctions, he veered off the road to the right in a construction site area for reasons as yet unexplained and collided with a concrete wall. The collision apparently caused the load of hundreds of pork hams hanging from a tubular track system on the ceiling of the trailer to swing up, causing the Semitrailer to overturn and block both lanes. The 59yearold was injured in the accident. An ambulance took the man to a nearby hospital. The staff of a butcher's store came on site to salvage the meat and load it into hygienically clean containers. The meat could thus be saved and reused. An expert constantly monitored this work. The truck was then carefully put back on its wheels by the recovery company Kreuzburg with the help of a crane in a rarely seen version and was transported away.
