Multiple individuals sustained injuries, necessitating hospitalisation, due to the accident.
In the heart of Oberhausen on August 7th, two unexpected incidents disrupted the usual flow of traffic. The first incident occurred at 1:49 PM, at the intersection of Mülheimer Straße / Grenzstraße, resulting in two injured individuals.
Meanwhile, at approximately 1:57 PM, a significant car-truck collision occurred on the A3, about 800 meters before the A42 exit, involving two horses. The A3 heading towards Cologne had to be completely closed during the operation to ensure safety and clear the accident site.
Extensive rescue efforts were required to free the trapped horses from the car trailer. A veterinary emergency team from a local horse clinic was promptly called to the scene to care for the animals. Unfortunately, one horse had to be euthanized due to the severity of its injuries.
The fire department was called to both accidents to secure the scenes, ensure fire protection, and assist in clearing the roads. A fire crane from Duisburg's professional fire department was deployed to lift the trailer and free the animals.
Meanwhile, volunteer firefighters ensured basic protection in the city. The police are investigating the causes of both accidents, and their investigation into the A3 accident has begun.
Two horses and the car driver from the A3 accident were injured and taken to hospitals. The second horse was taken to an animal clinic for further treatment.
Quick operations were conducted to clear both accident sites, and the Oberhausen fire department and supporting units from the surrounding area finished their operation around 5 PM.
