According to police, only one man was injured in the serious accident on the Autobahn 3. The 29-year-old put his Skoda in a trailer of a truck at the end of the traffic jam and got under the vehicle a kilometer behind the freeway parking lot. “Theiss Valley”. He had to be transferred to a hospital in a rescue helicopter.
It was previously said that there were several injuries in the accident. The traffic jam was caused by a rappel action by environmentalists on a highway bridge. The police then blocked the A3 in both directions and traffic stopped. The activists protested against the construction of the A49 in the Dannenröder forest.
According to the police, an investigation was launched against the participants in the rappel action.
Environmentalists reject the context
Opponents of the highway rejected a connection between the protest at the bridge and the accident. It was “terrible that this tragedy happened,” he said in a statement. Every traffic accident is a stroke of fate.
The fact that the police caused the rear-end collision in connection with a rappel blockade on the A3 was “in bad taste”, “while the rear-end collisions in motorway traffic jams are accepted as sad everyday life.” The activists wanted to respond to the accusations later.
Cleaning operations in the Dannenröder forest in progress
The police had tried in recent days to evacuate the Dannenröder forest, which was occupied by environmental activists, and Herrenwald. There were repeated violent clashes between protesters and security forces. On Tuesday, the forces evacuated the “Neuerding” camp in southern Herrenwald. 48 people were evicted, 23 people had to be pulled out of the trees, he said.
Trees from occupied areas will be cut down for the subsequent construction of the A49. Environmentalists criticize, however, that this would destroy an intact, species-rich mixed forest with oak and beech trees more than 250 years old.
In addition, the highway endangers the water supply for hundreds of thousands of people. The region around the Herrenwald and Dannenröder forest is therefore one of the most important drinking water reservoirs in Hesse.
