Bridge crash in Weinheim: Suez Canalweg closed due to accident!

Last Thursday morning, around 10:40 a.m., a serious traffic accident occurred in Weinheim. A small truck collided with a bridge in the railway underpass on Suez Canalweg, what confirmed both the police and the city of Weinheim. In the incident, at least one person suffered injuries, and the directly adjacent connection from western Weinheim to the city center was completely sealed off. The road was initially closed to auxiliary measures and the accident recording, later also for a static check of the bridge.

As can be seen from reports, there was an impact in the windshield of the truck, which indicates the force of the impact. Special caution seems to be advisable, because the passage is only approved for vehicles under 2.5 meters, and corresponding traffic signs warn of this level of height. The city has already taken several measures to avoid similar accidents in the past. In November 2024, large warning banners were hung up, and "gallows" were previously installed, which were, however, severely damaged and caused high costs. However, it remains to be observed that small trucks with box -shaped structures often bump against the railway bridge, which represents a recurring problem.

causes and challenges

The logistics and vehicle industry faces a challenge because there are no patent recipes to completely avoid such accidents. While professional logisticians rely on high -quality navigation systems that avoid inappropriate roads, many small truck drivers apparently use cell phonenavoying, which does not always contribute to safety. The frequent collisions with the railway bridge are an alarm sign that urgently requires further measures. Traffic accident statistics show that accidents of trucks that end in the same or similar way are a problem not only in Weinheim, but also in other regions, such as the situation in the Rhein-Erft district, where a truck has fallen from a bridge to railway tracks.

In this case, the driver, who was under drug, had to be brought to an intensive care unit seriously injured. Such incidents illustrate the need for measures to increase traffic safety. Another aspect is the preparation of data on the traffic safety situation, which serve as a basis for decision -makers in order to develop suitable legislative measures and traffic education programs.

The city of Weinheim has already made progress, but the question remains how many other accidents are necessary to advance the uniform implementation of traffic safety measures. How safe are our streets in the end?

rnz that the problem is primarily due to the problem of the height restriction and which connected collisions. More information can be found at n-tv and Destatis , where the current numbers and statistics on the subject of traffic accidents are processed.
