Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: truck overturns: potato mass runs out

Wöbbelin (dpa/mv) - At the Schwerin motorway junction, a truck with a raw potato mass on board overturned on Monday and blocked the access road from the A14 to the A24 from the south in the direction of Hamburg and Berlin for hours. The driver was seriously injured in the accident, the police said in Ludwigslust. It was initially unclear why the truck left the roadway to the right. When it tipped over, the load - several tons of raw potato mass - spilled into the ditch.
