North Rhine-Westphalia: truck driver seriously injured in an accident with three trucks

Münster (dpa / lnw) - In a rear-end collision with three trucks on Autobahn 1 near Münster, one of the drivers was seriously injured. The 63-year-old was trapped in the driver's cab of his truck on Thursday night, a police spokesman said early Thursday morning. The other drivers were unharmed.

Accordingly, the 63-year-old drove into a traffic jam because of a heavy load transport on a truck driving in front of him. This in turn was pushed against another truck. The traffic was diverted from Münster-Nord, said the spokesman. In the direction of Bremen, the highway was closed for the rescue work.
