Rescue on the A23: Fire brigade fights against the flames and the traffic jam!

A serious traffic accident on the A23 near Pinneberg on July 18, 2025 caused disruptions for hours. According to information from shz.de The highway was only accessible in one lane due to construction work, which made it considerably more difficult for emergency services to get there. In order to reach the inmates as quickly as possible, unconventional measures were necessary.

An emergency vehicle from the Rellingen fire department got stuck in a traffic jam and could not get to the injured quickly enough. So the rescuers had no choice but to drive against the direction of travel and close a lane on the opposite lane while they worked over the guardrail.
