Overturned tanker trailer blocks A3 motorway near Obertshausen
A tanker trailer overturned on the A3 motorway near Obertshausen on Friday afternoon. The incident caused traffic disruption, but the driver escaped without injury. Authorities have warned of further delays as recovery work continues.
The accident happened when the 51-year-old driver braked sharply due to traffic. The sudden stop caused the trailer to sway and tip onto its side. Though the cab remained stable on the hard shoulder, only the left lane stayed open, leading to long tailbacks.
The overturned tanker has been removed without environmental damage or injuries. Traffic restrictions will remain until the road is fully cleared. Drivers are advised to check for updates before travelling in the area.
