Hünfeld/Fulda (dpa/lhe) - The police pulled a completely overloaded pickup truck out of traffic on Autobahn 7. Instead of the permitted 3500 kilograms, he weighed a total of more than 5400 kilograms, as the police headquarters in Fulda announced on Friday.
In addition, the 45-year-old driver had not secured the load. As a result, according to the police, the van was crooked on the road and at times even lost traction when overtaking. A patrol of the highway police became aware of the car on Thursday near Hünfeld (Fulda district).
