Overview
- The collision occurred shortly after 15:00 on the northbound A7 a few hundred meters before the Reudelberger Forst Ost parking area.
- The impact created a blockage that kept the truck stuck for roughly two hours and caused a major backup extending past the Altenstadt exit.
- Crews eventually freed a brake obstruction, allowing the lorry to move to the next parking area and easing traffic around 17:00.
- The car was a total loss, and the driver was largely uninjured but taken to a clinic for examination.
- The truck driver was unhurt, and responders included Feuerwehr Illertissen, THW, two ambulances with an emergency doctor, and police.
