Review drama: truck loses 5,600 beer bottles in Neu-Ulm!
Elchingen, Deutschland - An unusual incident recently occurred in the Neu-Ulm district, which caused a sensation. A truck that was loaded with a stately load of 280 boxes of wheat beer lost a large part of his freight in a roundabout in Elchingen. The driver, under suspicion, to have driven into the curve too quickly, had to see how the trailer tended to the side and plunged the boxes out of the vehicle. Around 5,600 bottles broke and left a shard landscape on the road. Fortunately, the driver was not injured and there were no personal injury to other road users. The material damage is estimated at around 4,500 euros, such as ZVW reports .
As it came about, it is quickly explained: the misfortune could have caused a lack of load securing. Such incidents are not only annoying, but also dangerous, because insufficiently secured loads are a common reason for traffic accidents. In 2022, over 2,300 accidents were attributed to this problem in Germany, and the damage caused by defective security, reach up to 3 billion euros annually worldwide, as [VDI explains] (https://www.vdi.de/stichlinien/unsere-landtlins-highlights/vdi-2700- on-road vehicles).
use of the fire brigade and cleanup
Against this background, the fire brigade had to intervene quickly. On Friday morning, shortly after 10 a.m., the fire brigades Geinberg and Moosham moved out to tackle the clean -up work. Although there were no personal injury, the clean -up work was extremely challenging. The police secured the accident site and set up a detour via Geinberg, while shards had to be removed in the upper area of the embankment.The state road 2021 remained closed for about two and a half hours during the cleaning work. Finally it was passable again around 3 p.m. and the traffic was slowly getting started again. Another aspect that should not be neglected in this context is the importance of proper load securing. According to the guidelines of the VDI 2700, it is not only a legal requirement, but also crucial for safety in road traffic.
In another similar case, a truck driver in Upper Austria lost hundreds of boxes of wheat beer on the B148 after he possibly transported poorly secured load. Here, the focus was also on the need to get through road traffic accident -free, which repeatedly rejects the debate about securing loads. In times when security and efficiency in transportation are very popular, it is more important than ever to be aware of the dangers that can bring about the lack of caution. From clarification to practical solutions, the VDI guidelines offer valuable information to prevent such incidents.
