Truck Crashes Cause Disruptions on A72 Near Zwickau and Frankfurt Rail Bridge

Separate truck accidents in Zwickau and Frankfurt led to significant traffic delays, infrastructure damage, and temporary closures of major routes.

A truck with a crane collided with a toll gantry on the A72 near Zwickau, causing an eight-hour closure and extensive traffic jams in the area.
The accident damaged the toll gantry, resulting in an estimated €755,000 in repair costs, and lightly injured two individuals on the truck.
In Frankfurt, another truck with a crane struck a railway bridge, leading to temporary closures of the B40 road and a rail line, disrupting S-Bahn services.
The Frankfurt bridge was reopened later the same day, but road cleaning and traffic management caused extended delays for commuters.
Both incidents highlight safety concerns with vehicles operating cranes in areas with low-clearance infrastructure.
