Gridlock in Hamburg: Semi-truck collides in tunnel, causing significant traffic disruption
In an unexpected incident that occurred on Monday evening, a truck from a Hamburg-based logistics company got stuck in Berlin's Tiergarten Tunnel. The 57-year-old driver, reportedly under the influence of alcohol, was the only person involved in the incident.
The truck's predicament caused disruptions to traffic in the Tiergarten Tunnel, a key road tunnel in Berlin that passes under the Spree south of the main station and then under the Tiergarten in the center of the city. The driver attempted to take an exit in the tunnel but failed to complete the maneuver, resulting in the truck being stuck diagonally.
Access from Invalidenstraße towards Kreuzberg was closed as a result of the truck incident. The tunnel tube in the direction of Moabit also remained closed due to the incident. Repair and recovery work and subsequent closures were managed by the Berlin Traffic Information Center.
The driver, who was reportedly intoxicated, was taken to the hospital after sustaining light injuries. The exact nature of the injuries necessitating hospitalization is not specified in the provided information. Repair and recovery work continued throughout the night.
The Berlin police are investigating the incident, but no further information is given about the condition of the driver or the ongoing investigation in this paragraph. The collision caused damage to the technical equipment in the Tiergarten Tunnel.
It is worth noting that no search results could be found identifying the logistics company that deployed the stuck truck in the Berlin Tiergarten Tunnel. The authorities are yet to release an official statement regarding this matter.
As the investigation continues, commuters are advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes. Further updates will be provided as information becomes available.
