Serious truck accident on A10: injured and 10 km traffic jam towards Genoa!

Today, August 28, 2025, there was a serious traffic accident on the A10 motorway between Albisola and Celle Ligure that caused a stir. At 3:20 p.m. a truck tipped over on its side and blocked the road towards Genoa. This not only led to a traffic jam of up to 9 kilometers, but also to a massive intervention by rescue and security personnel on site. According to lokkio.it, the disaster was the result of a single vehicle involved.

The impact of the accident is significant for both the environment and road users. Some soundproofing panels fell off and diesel leaked onto the roadway and the area below. An injured person was treated by the paramedics of the 118 and taken to the San Paolo Hospital. As genova24.it reports, fire brigade teams from Savona and Varazze are at the scene of the accident to ensure the necessary protection of the vehicle and to eliminate the consequences of the diesel leak.

Measures and traffic management

Numerous emergency services have been organized to secure the scene of the accident. In addition to the fire brigade, the road police, technicians from Autostrade per l'Italia as well as the carabinieri and local police were also on duty to regulate traffic. Lightly motorized road users were advised to exit the motorway at Albisola and rejoin the A10 in Celle Ligure. Alternatives to motorway travel were also suggested, such as the A6 Torino-Savona, followed by the A21 Torino-Brescia towards Milan and finally the A26 dei Trafori to Genoa.

Securing the vehicle, clearing the diesel spill and removing the fallen panels are still in progress. The road to the Ferrari district is also closed between the church of San Michele and the oratory. Mayor Marco Beltrame informed the population about the situation and emphasized that every effort is being made to normalize traffic conditions as quickly as possible.

Statistical backgrounds

Accidents like this cast a shadow on the road safety situation. Statistics like those recorded by destatis.de are important for analyzing the causes of accidents and their consequences. They provide a basis for appropriate measures in traffic legislation, education and for improving infrastructure. In this context, the accident becomes more important in order to possibly prevent future incidents of this type.

The salvage and (cleaning) work is still in full swing. Road users are asked to be patient and use alternative routes to avoid the traffic jam.
