Overview
- On Austria’s A14, a damaged fuel tank released about 500 liters of diesel, prompting more than three hours of cleanup with Feuerwehr Bludenz and Asfinag on scene.
- Temporary repairs followed on the A14 as crews lifted the truck back to the roadway and documented damage requiring replacement of roughly 20 meters of guardrail and 10 meters of noise barrier.
- Germany’s A19 toward Berlin was fully closed from the Linstow junction from about 14:00 after a tractor-trailer slid down a slope, broke through a wildlife fence, and came to rest on a forest track.
- Operating fluids leaked on the A19 and police warned of a multi-hour recovery, though the driver was uninjured and officials had not yet provided a damage estimate.
- On the A9 near Hermsdorfer Kreuz, a 61-year-old driver hit a snowbank and struck a concrete barrier, tipping the loaded trailer, with recovery requiring unloading plus a crane and damage estimated at about €80,000.
