VN24 - Tanker trailer overturns on the A46 freeway - crane helped with recovery

VN24 - 15-06-2023 (D/M/Y) - Iserlohn A46 / Germany - On the A46 freeway at about shortly after 9:00 o'clock in the morning between the towns of Hagen and Iserlohn, the trailer of a tanker truck started to lurch and fell onto its side for reasons that are as yet unclear. The driver of the truck was uninjured. He then dragged the trailer, which had tipped over and was loaded with around 10,500 liters of diesel fuel, another 150 meters (500 ft) behind him and came to rest on the shoulder while driving in an easterly direction. The tank trailer is internally divided into several individual segments, of which one 7,000 liter and one 3,500 liter tank were filled with diesel. The dome lid of the 7,000 liter tank proved to be leaking. From there, several liters flowed onto the road and into the ditch. The specialists of the nearby operating company succeeded in partially transferring the contents of the 7,000-liter compartment into an empty 3,500-liter segment lying next to it by use of internal overflow valves, so afterwards the dome lids could be opened to pump the complete contents into a replacement vehicle. A recovery contractor finally put the trailer back on its wheels with the help of two wire rope winches of their tow truck and a mobile crane ensured a gentle set down with the help of a special rim holder. Due to the quick and prudent actions of the fire department, which collected quantities of diesel at the outset, only a fraction ended up in the soil. ++++ Footage (film/photo) © VN24.nrw ► Order material at [email protected] Any publication of the visual material is subject to a fee, sharing for private, non-commercial purposes within the intended functions of the platform is permitted.
