Heavier traffic disruptions persist in Pforzheimer Weststadt due to a second accident involving truck drivers
In the heart of Broetzingen, a significant traffic incident has occurred at the intersection of Kelterstraße/Habermehlstraße/Dietlinger Straße. The collision, involving two heavy transports, has caused widespread disruption in the city.
The accident was caused when a heavy transport from Altensteig, loaded with large steel beams, turned and its trailer swerved, becoming wedged with the oncoming low-loader's ramp. Unfortunately, the steel beams from the Altensteig transport fell off the front trailer and became wedged with the following low-loader. One steel beam even pierced the cab of the turning truck, but fortunately, the driver was not injured.
The collision has caused extensive damage, with an estimated cost of approximately 150,000 euros. The site of the accident was closed immediately following the incident, and cleanup operations are expected to continue until at least 12 noon. Despite the reopening, traffic in the Weststadt and the city's exit roads is still affected due to the ongoing cleanup operations.
A crane is currently on site to clear the accident, and another low-loader has been ordered by the transport company from Altensteig to transport the steel beams away. However, the replacement low-loader will also have to navigate through the traffic jam, which could cause further delays.
Traffic disruptions continue on the Westtangente, from the Westtangente entrance coming from Dietlingen, on the B 294 from Birkenfeld, on the Kelterstraße, and on the southern side from Kaiser-Friedrich-Straße and Büchenbronner Straße. Motorists in the Weststadt need a lot of patience due to the traffic accident.
