Thuringia: traveling too fast: truck overturns on snow-soaked A4

Erfurt (dpa/th) - On the A4 between the Erfurt-Ost and Erfurt-West junctions, a truck skidded on a snow-covered road and overturned. As the police announced on Saturday, the truck driver was probably driving at excessive speed late on Friday evening. The vehicle spun and came to a stop in the opposite direction of travel, with the trailer tipping on its side. The road had to be closed for several hours. There was damage of around 25,000 euros. The 34-year-old driver was unharmed.
