Bad Brückenau (dpa / lby) - A pickup truck driver drove into a trailer truck on the Autobahn 7 in Bavaria on Wednesday afternoon and was critically injured. The 61-year-old was taken to a hospital by rescue helicopter, the police said in the evening. Until the arrival of the emergency services, police officers from Hesse, who happened to be nearby, would have provided first aid in an exemplary manner. The driver of the semi-trailer had stopped because of a traffic jam on the A7 between the Wildflecken and Volkers junctions. It was still unclear why the van in the Bad Kissingen district crashed into the end of the traffic jam at high speed. The police are looking for witnesses.
