After a serious accident on the German A5 near Bruchsal near Karlsruhe, the police cracked down on drivers who had not formed a rescue lane. More than 100 drivers will have to pay around € 23,000, the police said yesterday. For half an hour, the police had monitored the route in the direction of Heidelberg.
In the accident, a 47-year-old truck driver was driven to another truck at a jam end. The impact of the crash pushed this truck to the next one. The 47-year-old was severely injured in his vehicle and had to be released from the fire department. Also a rescue helicopter was in use.
Due to the full barrier, a traffic jam of at times more than 20 kilometers in length formed behind the accident site. According to the police, traffic jams on the oncoming lane were about two kilometers long, because gazers wanted to watch the rescue work
