Erfurt (dpa/th) – The Autobahn 38 in the district of Nordhausen is still closed in both directions after a truck accident at night. The load of the semitrailer was completely reloaded, as the police announced on Monday afternoon. A crane was then used to erect the vehicle involved in the accident. The destroyed central barrier also had to be repaired.
The tugboat had loaded rapeseed oil and was on its way towards Göttingen on Monday morning when, for reasons that are still unknown, it broke through the central barrier between the Bleicherode and Großwechsungen junctions and overturned.
