Hesse: truck accident on Autobahn 3: two people trapped

Obertshausen (dpa / lhe) - In a truck accident on Autobahn 3 near Obertshausen, two people were trapped in their vehicle. A rescue helicopter is in use, said a police spokesman in Offenbach on Thursday afternoon. So far it is unclear how badly the truck occupants were injured. A 40-ton truck had slowed down near Obertshausen due to a traffic jam, and the truck behind it drove up. The driver of this truck was able to save himself, his two passengers were trapped.

Since one of the vehicles was loaded with adhesives, the police recommended that drivers keep windows closed and the ventilation switched off. The Autobahn was completely blocked in the direction of Würzburg, and traffic was backed up for several kilometers. The police initially gave no information about the duration of the blockage.
