17.11.2020 - VN24 - Teil 2 - Bergung eines Sattelzuges auf der A44 - abgefangen mit Catchbags

VN24 - 17.11.2020 - Fröndenberg / Germany - On the highway A44 near Fröndenberg (district of Unna) an semi-trailer truck was involved in an accident in the morning around 09:10 am. For reasons unknown so far, the driver left the lane to the right, whereby the tractor-trailer lay on its side on the slope. The driver was not injured. The recovery of the truck was difficult, because the walking floor trailer was fully loaded with trash and had an unusually high weight. In addition, it was flush with the slope, so that it was initially impossible to pull recovery belts for the crane under the trailer. An attempt to rescue the vehicle with only one tow truck failed, as it slipped away on the wet roadway. The police had the salvage work interrupted and the highway cleared, as the time had come for the heavy rush hour traffic. In addition, another serious accident had already occurred in the traffic jam ahead of the closure. The rescue was moved into the night hours and the freeway was closed again at 11:00 pm. In the meantime the trailer could be lifted by compressed air lifting bags so far that belts could be passed underneath. In this part 2 of the recovery the vehicle could be erected with the help of the crane and a second recovery-truck.
