Because he is said to have made a snack while driving, a truck driver left the road on the Autobahn 8 towards Munich near Irschenberg and overturned his truck. The vehicle crashed first on the left, then on the right against the protective barrier and broke through the central protective barrier, as the police announced on Saturday. According to witnesses, the 52-year-old driver ate and was probably looking for other ingredients on the passenger side.
There were obstructions in both directions on Saturday afternoon on the A8. Traffic was backed up in the direction of Munich for around six kilometers, as a police spokeswoman said. According to the police, the truck driver got away “relatively lightly” with a broken hand. He was taken to the hospital. The total damage was more than 100,000 euros.
