At the Schaffhausen Heavy Traffic Control Center, the semi-trailer underwent a more detailed inspection. The findings made by the Federal Customs Administration were confirmed. In addition, another cracked brake disc and an airbag bracket / axle attachment were found on the freight semi-trailer that had been displaced in two places.
The saddle freight trailer chassis showed rust perforations and cracks in several places, the longitudinal frame was also warped and deformed. The rear door hinges threatened to fall off due to cracks. In addition, the bodywork of the saddle transport trailer was tilted so that it also created excess width. Due to numerous technical defects, the operational safety of the vehicle combination was no longer guaranteed.
The 56-year-old Turkish trucker had to deposit several thousand Swiss francs on the buses. The tractor-trailer was closed and the driver was reported to the Schaffhausen Canton Prosecutor, Traffic Department.
