Five people were killed in a serious traffic accident on Autobahn 1 in the Oldenburg district. On Wednesday night, a hauler driving in the direction of Osnabrück between Wildeshausen-Nord and Wildeshausen-West was caught in a trailer truck and crawled under the truck, a Lower Saxony police spokesman said Wednesday morning . Five occupants of the transporter with Polish plates were killed.
No skid marks were observed, a Wildeshausen fire department spokesman said. Presumably the van entered the truck without braking. The tow truck was driving slowly due to the backlog of work on a construction site with a narrow lane. According to the fire department, the truck was completely deformed by the force of the crash.
Initially, only two people were seen in the vehicle and the other three occupants were only discovered when the fire department broke down the doors. It was difficult to free the victims of the shipwreck. The emergency physician could only determine death in all of them. The truck driver did not need medical help after the initial examination.
The route remains closed longer
Initially, the police were unable to provide further details on the identity of the accident victims. The A1 was blocked in the direction of Osnabrück. The fire department spokesman spoke of the recording of a major accident. The road will probably be closed until the morning.
According to the fire department, there are more serious accidents on the A1. Wildeshausen is located halfway between Cloppenburg and Bremen and is about 40 kilometers from the Hanseatic city.
