Transportation of dangerous goods - Gas escapes from leaking truck - A1 closed
Due to releasing gases from a defective hazardous materials transporter, the Autobahn A1 between Unna and Kamen-Center has been closed in both directions. A spokeswoman for Dortmund Police stated this in response to an inquiry. Both lanes have been closed for approximately 19 hours. The population has been urged via the Nina warning app to keep windows and doors closed. The duration of the Autobahn closure is still unknown. The spokeswoman could not specify which gas was involved. A kilometer-long traffic jam has formed.
