Traffic obstruction - Lane towards Mainz closed after truck accident on A643
A truck driver has overturned his vehicle in an accident on the A643 near the Mainz-Mombach exit and sustained minor injuries. The lane in the direction of the Mainz interchange is expected to remain closed until at least 12:00 noon for recovery and cleaning, according to the police. As a result, major traffic obstructions are to be expected in the Wiesbaden area. The highway in the direction of Wiesbaden is not affected by the recovery measures.
According to the police, the vehicle loaded with cement left the road in the deceleration lane on Thursday morning for an as yet unexplained reason and hit a concrete wall. The truck then reportedly crashed into another crash barrier between the main carriageway and the slow lane and overturned onto its passenger side. Emergency services freed the 49-year-old driver from the cab and an ambulance took him to hospital. The accident caused damage estimated at around 80,000 euros.

The cleanup process is being handled by the local authorities, as they aim to clear the debris from the roadway as quickly as possible. This unfortunate incident has led to delays in traffic coming from Hesse towards Mainz. The Police are advising motorists to avoid the area if possible, as this part of the A643 remains a dangerous spot due to the accident and the ongoing recovery efforts.
The Rhineland-Palatinate Department of Transport has recommended alternative routes for motorists, such as taking the B42 or B47 to bypass the affected area and reach their destinations safely. Meanwhile, drivers should stay alert for any updates on traffic conditions and adjust their commute plans accordingly, considering the increased number of accidents and traffic disruptions on the roads recently.
