Terrible truck accident on A1: traffic jam over nine kilometers!

A serious truck accident has affected the A1 motorway in the Ottersberg area between the posthausen and Oyten junction this morning. Like Butnen reported three trucks, which led to a full closure towards Osnabrück. The exact circumstances of the accident have so far been unclear, but the police have already reported injuries and alerted a rescue helicopter.

The situation is dramatic: the traffic management center Lower Saxony reports that the traffic jam in the Ottersberg area is over nine kilometers long. For drivers, this means bringing patience with them, since there is still no information on the duration of the blocking on the part of the police. Turning or bypassing the traffic jam sections is currently not possible.
