Truck collision in Gelnhausen: damage over 100,000 euros, no one injured!

If you look at the current police reports from June 11, 2025, it becomes clear that road safety is also a top priority in Hesse. How blaettsche.de reported, there was a remarkable incident on the A66 near Gelnhausen on Tuesday afternoon. A truck loading crane got stuck on a bridge because the maximum height was exceeded. The incident occurred around 1:25 p.m. in the construction site area between Gelnhausen West and East. The loading crane and a construction vehicle on the trailer were significantly damaged, while falling debris even hit a following Mercedes. Luckily no one was injured that day, but the total damage is estimated at over 100,000 euros.

In keeping with these incidents, the issue of road safety is an urgent one in Germany, which is also highlighted by road traffic accident statistics. This data not only provides an overview of the number of accidents, but also of the causes of accidents and the people affected, which is essential for legislative and traffic education measures. Like an overview of the Statistical offices shows, such statistics are the basis for better traffic policy and help to further optimize infrastructure and traffic safety.

Violence in Seligenstadt

Aside from the road accidents, there was also a violent confrontation in Seligenstadt that should not go unnoticed. How blaettsche.de According to reports, a 34-year-old craftsman was suddenly hit in the face by an unknown person on Frankfurter Strasse shortly after 8 p.m. on Tuesday. The craftsman was meeting with a potential client when a second man approached him and then struck. The perpetrator is described as being around 1.80 m tall, around 30 years old and wearing a white T-shirt and black jogging pants. The police in Seligenstadt have started the investigation and are asking for information from witnesses on 06182 – 8930-0.

Both incidents - both on the streets and on the sidewalks - show how important it is to treat one another with care and respect. A look at traffic and case law can't hurt. After an accident, as in the case of Mr. Schneider, who overlooked a motorcyclist while turning left, the legal regulations are clear: the person responsible bears the damage and the insurance company must cover the costs incurred. As in the article anwalt.de As explained, the question of guilt and compliance with legal requirements is crucial. Careless behavior can not only lead to serious injuries, but can also have far-reaching legal consequences.

The hope remains that road safety and respectful coexistence will be promoted in our region in order to better prevent such incidents in the future.
