A3 - Fire engine involved in accident - seven firefighters injured
Seven firefighters were injured in an accident involving a fire truck on the A3. The fire truck allegedly crashed, according to police statements, in the afternoon near the Frankfurter Kreuz. The exact details of the accident remained unclear for the time being.
Three of the firefighters were seriously injured. All the injured were taken to hospitals. A rescue helicopter was also in use, but it was ultimately not needed, a police spokesperson said. The autobahn was temporarily closed in the affected direction.
The accident occurred on the busy RHEIN-MAIN autobahn, specifically near Frankfurt. The fire engine was en route to an emergency in Hesse when the unfortunate incident happened. The fire department from Frankfurt was involved in managing the traffic due to numerous accidents in the area following the incident with their own vehicle.
