Nordhausen (dpa/th) - A truck loaded with 10,000 liters of raw milk crashed on Christmas Eve in the Nordhausen district. The truck came late in the evening on the country road between Schedungen and Friedrichsthal with the trailer on the banquettes and thus began to sway, as the police reported on Sunday. As a result, the trailer overturned and remained lying sideways in the ditch. As a result, an estimated 1000 liters of milk ran out.
The remaining milk could be pumped into a replacement tanker. The rescue and the operation at the scene of the accident lasted until the early hours of Sunday. The property damage was estimated at more than 60,000 euros. The 23-year-old driver was not injured.
