VN24 - 24-01-2024 (D/M/Y) - Hamm A1 / Germany - At around 15:50, the driver of a Semitrailer lost his trailer on the A1 Freeway between the Hamm/Bergkamen junction and the Kamener Kreuz interchange (A1/A2) for reasons as yet unknown. This trailer (semi-trailer), a so-called container chassis loaded with a tank container, detached itself from the tractor unit's fifth wheel and became independent. It slid along the crash barrier and got stuck on the concrete foundation of a signpost. There, the tip dug into the ground. The tank was loaded with 24,000 liters (6340 US gal) of glycol. Fortunately, no one was injured. The tractor unit continued its journey and cannot be seen in the pictures. The salvage company Kollmer used a Bracht crane to lift the tank and trailer onto a replacement vehicle and a low-loader. The operation lasted until late in the evening.
