A severe traffic accident on the A38 near Breitenworbis has resulted in the tragic death of a 48-year-old lorry driver. The incident, which occurred on Wednesday afternoon, involved a collision between the lorry and a safety vehicle stationed to secure a construction site. The A38 in the direction of Göttingen remains fully closed as authorities work to clear the scene and investigate the cause of the crash.
According to the motorway police, the lorry, laden with plastic waste, collided with the safety vehicle's sign trailer, which was positioned on the right lane. The impact caused the lorry to veer off course, strike the guardrail, and ultimately overturn. The driver was ejected from the vehicle and suffered fatal injuries, passing away at the scene. No other injuries were reported, but the material damage is estimated to be in the six-figure range, with precise assessments ongoing.
The closure of the A38 is expected to last into the early evening, with traffic being diverted via the U36 route. Motorists are advised to avoid the area entirely if possible, as significant delays are anticipated on the diversion route. The police have emphasized the importance of caution when navigating through or around construction zones, especially under adverse conditions.
An expert has been called in to assist with reconstructing the sequence of events leading to the accident. The investigation aims to clarify the circumstances that resulted in this tragic outcome, with a focus on preventing similar incidents in the future. The community and authorities alike mourn the loss of life and extend their condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
