The cause of the serious truck accident on Landshuter Allee last Friday is still open. The autopsy of the fatally injured truck driver, who got into the oncoming lane with his gravel truck and collided head-on with a tanker truck, has now been completed, said a police spokesman. She did not find any evidence of an acute illness such as a heart attack in the 52-year-old driver from the Dachau district.
It is still unclear why the man lost control of his vehicle and got into the oncoming lane. Both vehicles caught fire as a result of the collision.
The driver of the tanker, a 55-year-old Austrian, was able to save himself from the vehicle. The 52-year-old could only be recovered after the fire was extinguished. Investigations into the cause of the accident are ongoing.
