A truck driver pushed four braking vehicles into each other on the A3 near Limburg (Limburg-Weilburg district). A 68-year-old man was trapped and injured in one of the rear vehicles, according to the police. The fire department freed the man. He was taken to a hospital in the afternoon following the accident and was reportedly responsive.
The 75-year-old causer noticed too late, according to initial police findings, that the truck drivers in front of him were braking.
