On Tuesday evening at around 7:30 PM, a driver from the Lahn-Dill district experienced an unfortunate incident on Autobahn 45 in Langenselbold.

During the collection of the cargo, which consisted of clothing and other items, two lanes heading towards Aschaffenburg and one lane heading towards Giessen were temporarily closed. Thankfully, no one was injured during the incident.

The press spokesman of the Südosthessisches Polizeipräsidium who reported on the loss of a roof box on Autobahn 45 in Langenselbold is identified by the abbreviation "lei" in the source, but no full name is given in the provided search results.

The 59-year-old had planned a vacation to Croatia, which he had to postpone due to the incident. He was forced to call his son for assistance as he was unable to fit the contents of the roof box back into his vehicle. As a result, the driver is likely to face an administrative offense procedure and will need to purchase a new roof box.
