In Herbrechtingen, a... - Truck crash on A7 leads to €75,000 worth of destruction.

A Mercedes slowly cruised down the right lane when a 39-year-old driver of a DAF articulated lorry attempted to overtake it. The Mercedes driver decided to speed up, foiling the lorry's attempt. The lorry then veered back into the right lane, causing the Mercedes to slam on its brakes. This action activated the emergency brake assist system on the truck and triggered a hard stop.

Meanwhile, a 48-year-old driver behind the lorry also had to apply emergency brakes, colliding with the trailer of the articulated truck. To avoid further damage, he swerved to the right and slammed into the guardrail. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the incident, but the MAN truck sustained damage and needed towage.

The right-hand lane was closed until about 2 a.m. for cleanup efforts. Police estimated the damages at approximately €75,000.
