VN24 - Fröndenberg / Germany - In a solo accident on Wednesday (8.7.) on the motorway A44 near Fröndenberg an semi-trailer truck tipped over. The co-driver was injured. According to initial investigations, the 27-year-old driver from Moldova was driving his semi-trailer truck in the direction of Kassel at around 02:00 a. m. Behind the Unna Ost motorway junction - about 500 metres before the Buchenhain rest area - he drove his vehicle off the road to the right for reasons as yet unknown. In the bordering green strip he drove up a slight slope, whereby the semi-trailer tipped completely on its side and stopped on the right lane. An ambulance brought the co-driver to a hospital for further treatment. Fortunately, the 27-year-old driver remained uninjured. Before the tractor-trailer could be recovered, the entire load had to be unloaded by hand. Tons of fruit, vegetables and flowers had to be reloaded into containers.
