Accident Closes L210 Road Near Weidesheim

On Friday evening at approximately 19:00, a serious incident occurred on the L210 road, near Weidesheim, involving a small truck with a trailer. The vehicle was travelling from Weidesheim towards Dom-Esch when it started to sway, eventually overturning on a straight stretch of the road.

The incident resulted in a fuel leak, prompting the immediate involvement of the fire department. The overturned vehicle came to rest on its side, causing the L210 road to be closed in the area of the accident.

The driver of the vehicle, a 49-year-old man, was injured in the incident. He was the only occupant of the vehicle. The direction of travel was from Weidesheim towards Dom-Esch.

The L210 road remained closed until 00:50, as a specialized company was called to clean up the fuel leak and carry out the necessary cleaning process. The closure was necessary to ensure the safety of other road users and to effectively manage the fuel leak.

The L210 road reopened at 00:50, allowing traffic to resume its usual flow. The trailer was carrying another small truck, adding to the complexity of the incident and the cleanup process.
