Rain (dpa / lby) – A liquid manure truck lost part of its load on federal highway 2 in Swabia, causing two traffic accidents. The lid of the liquid manure truck failed on Friday due to a technical defect and the fermentation processes in the tank, which is why liquid manure spilled onto the road near Rain (Donau-Ries district), as the police announced on Saturday.
The driver didn’t notice anything until other road users pointed out the loss of cargo and stopped. Before the fire brigade could clean the road, however, there were two minor accidents involving two mopeds that slipped on the road. Both drivers were slightly injured. Since the fire brigade was initially unable to clean the street, a special cleaning machine had to be requested.
