Roof Box Bursts Open on A45, Scattering Luggage and Halting Traffic at Langenselbolder Dreieck

Authorities opened administrative proceedings; the cause remains under review.

Overview

  • Police said a 59-year-old driver lost the contents of his roof box on Tuesday evening near the Langenselbolder Dreieck on the A45.
  • Clothing and other items were strewn across roughly 100 meters on two lanes toward Aschaffenburg, and the broken lid blew onto the Gießen-bound side.
  • Officers temporarily stopped traffic in both directions to clear debris and recover the damaged lid, and no injuries were reported.
  • The driver from the Lahn-Dill district could not fit the items back into his car and called his son for help, postponing a planned trip to Croatia.
  • Police cleared the roadway and resumed traffic, with an administrative offense case initiated against the driver.
