Truck Overturns on A9, Causing Major Traffic Disruptions

A truck carrying frozen meat overturned near Lenting, injuring two people and leading to a full highway closure for recovery efforts.

A truck loaded with 20 tons of frozen meat overturned on the A9 highway near Lenting in Upper Bavaria, Germany, early Monday morning.
The accident occurred when the truck collided with a car attempting to overtake in a construction zone, causing the driver to lose control.
The truck driver, 48, and his 35-year-old passenger sustained serious injuries, while the car's occupants were unharmed.
The overturned truck led to a full closure of the A9 in the direction of Munich, resulting in a traffic jam spanning up to seven kilometers.
Due to damage to the truck's cooling system, the frozen meat's cold chain was disrupted, requiring the disposal of its cargo, with total damages estimated at €200,000.
