The station A7 is located in Lehrte. - Heavy rain leads to chaos on the A7 highway.

At 6:00 AM, Ahlten and Lehrte fire departments responded to a call reporting an accident with three vehicles. When they arrived, they found two cars colliding and a trailer carrying an aerial work platform. What was initially reported as a car on its side turned out to be the platform, which had fallen off the trailer and landed to its side.

Fortunately, no one was injured, so Lehrte decided to end the operation. The departments then cooperated with the police to secure the area, provide fire protection, and help clear the right lane and shoulder. This allowed the police to redirect traffic past the accident site, easing congestion caused by the temporary closure.

The accident's cause was attributed to heavy rain that appeared suddenly, drastically reducing visibility to just a few meters. At 7:15 AM, the fire department's work was completed, and the scene was handed to the police. Neither injuries nor vehicle damage details were reported.
