Large accident on the BAB 24: 85,000 euros in property damage and full closure

On Sunday evening, 01.09.24, a serious traffic accident occurred on the federal highway 24, which leads towards Berlin. The accident, which happened at around 11:00 p.m. between the Wöbbelin and the Schwerin motorway junction, caused considerable damage to property and led to a complete blocking of the highway.

According to the information available, a 29-year-old woman from Poland was at the wheel of a car when she crashed into a vehicle team that was directed by a 54-year-old German. As a result of the impact, the vehicle team skidded and finally tipped over to the side. The towing vehicle stopped on the overtaking strip, while the trailer of the team tore from the trailer coupling and came to lie on the hard shoulder - right next to it a parked Mercedes Unimog.

The Polish driver brought her car to a standstill, despite the tense situation. However, the immediate consequences of the accident have led to a massive disorder on the BAB 24. Both the car and both vehicles of the vehicle team were no longer ready to drive after the collision. Towing companies were proclaimed to rescue the vehicles from the accident site.

• operating materials went out and also had to be removed.
• The highway was completely closed from 11:00 p.m.
• The blocking, which took up until around 3:30 a.m., was necessary to clear the scene of the accident and carry out the necessary cleaning work.
• The total damage is estimated at around 85,000 euros.

The investigation by the police on the exact circumstances of the accident continue. It remains to be seen which information emerges from the test results and what legal steps may follow.

The incident on BAB 24 raises questions about traffic safety, especially on heavily used motorway sections. Road users should be aware of the importance of attention and dismissal in order to avoid such serious accidents. Driving safety is in the foreground to defuse such dangerous situations.

In a time when road traffic is becoming increasingly intensive, this incident again warns to be cited on the motorways of the Federal Republic of Germany.
