Congested traffic in Munich's underpass
A small delivery van found itself in a tight spot on Wednesday evening, getting stuck in the underpass at Allacher Straße (Untermenzing), Munich.
The incident occurred when the driver of the vehicle, a young man, misjudged the clearance height of the underpass, leading to the van getting stuck with its load, preventing it from moving forward or backward.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the accident. The truck, a VW delivery van, appeared to be undamaged apart from some scratches on its exterior. The driver's cab, however, remained largely undamaged.
The truck was stuck in the underpass for some time, causing a minor disruption. A rescue vehicle was requested by the train driver, and the fire department was involved in the incident.
After air was let out of the tires and the vehicle height was reduced, the truck could be pulled out of the underpass. The firefighters decided to pull the vehicle back using a winch.
A special vehicle was called in to extract the stuck van. After the necessary manoeuvres, the van was successfully pulled out of the underpass, bringing the incident to a close.
The location of the accident, Allacher Straße (Untermenzing), is a busy thoroughfare in Munich, and the incident caused some traffic congestion. The police and emergency services did a commendable job in managing the situation and ensuring the smooth flow of traffic resumed as quickly as possible.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to always be mindful of their vehicle's clearance height when navigating through tight spaces, especially in urban areas.
