Truck Accident on A7 Causes Partial Closure and Oil Spill Cleanup

A structural inspection has allowed one direction of the highway to reopen, with full reopening expected after cleaning operations conclude.

A truck skidded on a bridge on the A7 near Bad Brückenau, breaking through the central barrier and spilling oil onto the road.
The accident, attributed to driver error, led to a full closure of the highway between two junctions overnight.
A structural engineer inspected the bridge, allowing one direction of the highway to reopen by mid-morning.
The opposite direction remains closed for cleaning, with reopening anticipated by midday.
The truck driver was uninjured, but the incident caused significant traffic disruptions and required a wide detour to redirect vehicles.
