A truck driver overlooked the end of a traffic jam on Autobahn 7 near Seesen (Goslar district) and was injured in a serious accident with three other trucks. On Tuesday evening, the woman drove her vehicle south on the right lane, overlooked the end of the traffic jam and drove into the truck driving in front of her, as a spokeswoman for the Hildesheim motorway police said on Wednesday. When the person who caused the accident dodged, she drove onto two other articulated lorries in front of them on the right lane. The driver was seriously injured. She came to a hospital. Two other truck drivers were slightly injured.
The rescue work on Autobahn 7 continued, which is why it was still closed on Wednesday morning. The traffic will be diverted at the Rhüden exit, it said.
