VN24 - 24-01-2024 (D/M/Y) - Hamm A1 / Germany - The minor mishap of the driver of a Semitrailer led to a rather lengthy recovery operation during the night. Traffic on the A1 Freeway heading south was jammed to a standstill shortly after the Hamm / Bergkamen junction because of another accident. In order to keep to his rest periods, the driver steered onto the hard shoulder as close as possible to the right-hand crash barrier. A mistake, as it turned out, because all the tires on the right-hand side of the vehicle came to rest on an unpaved grass verge and sank up to 23 cm (9 inches) into the ground. Right on the edge of the concrete road surface. Two recovery vehicles and many wooden beams were needed to get the stuck truck back onto the road. Obviously no damage was caused.
