Bad Hersfeld (dpa / lhe) - On the Autobahn 7 near Bad Hersfeld, seven cars drove over a lost trailer wheel and were sometimes seriously damaged. As the police announced on Sunday, a 36-year-old man was driving his small truck trailer near Neuenstein late on Saturday evening when a wheel on the trailer's double axle came loose. According to the police, it remained lying on the roadway.
Some of the seven cars were so badly damaged that they could not continue. The property damage was estimated by the police at 13,000 euros. The 36-year-old presumably did not notice the missing wheel at first. A witness drove behind the team and gave the officials the location, the police said. The 36-year-old was then about 30 kilometers north on the A7 near Malsfeld by a patrol car crew.
