VN24 - 29-01-2024 (D/M/Y) - Lünen B54 / Germany - At around 1:10 p.m., an Semitrailer truck from Lithuania was driving westbound on the federal highway B54 from Lünen in the direction of Dortmund. Shortly after the Kupferstraße junction, the driver left his lane to the left for unknown reasons and initially collided with a dump truck traveling eastbound in oncoming traffic. The wing mirrors of the tractor units touched slightly and the trailer was grazed a little. The Lithuanian truck then hit the truck of the same company driving behind the first tipper semi-trailer and pushed it down a ditch. The tractor unit of the suspected perpetrator of the accident was heavily damaged and also veered to the left and left the road. The 56-year-old driver was severely trapped, had to be rescued by the fire department and was subsequently taken to hospital by ambulance. The 35-year-old driver of the first tipper semi-trailer and his 27-year-old co-driver were uninjured, while the 28-year-old driver of the second dump semi-trailer suffered minor injuries. The salvage companies Werth and Widliczek took care of the removal of the damaged trucks, while the company Hülsmann then took over the cleaning of the driveway.
