Traffic Alert: Saddle Train on Highway 1 near Emstek, managed by police in Ahlhorn

In an incident that took place on August 26, 2025, a traffic accident occurred on the A1 motorway near Delmenhorst between the Ahlhorner interchange and the Wildeshausen-West exit. The accident involved two trucks, one driven by a 52-year-old truck driver and the other by a 47-year-old man from Berlin.

The incident occurred at approximately 1:30 PM, causing traffic congestion at the time. Fortunately, both drivers remained uninjured after the accident. The 52-year-old's semi-trailer was no longer roadworthy and had to be towed away, causing significant property damage. The total damage caused by the accident amounts to approximately 15,000 euros.

An administrative offence procedure was initiated against the 52-year-old due to his inattentive driving. However, the search results do not provide the name or identity of the police officer leading the proceedings.
