Landslide in A44 tunnel vicinity close to Sontra
This morning, an accident occurred during construction work on the "Tunnel Holstein" of the A44 near Sontra (Werra-Meißner district). Two workers were injured when a large boulder was dislodged due to the failure of a steel support in the tunnel.
The 35-year-old worker sustained serious injuries and was transported to a hospital by a rescue helicopter. The second worker, who was lightly injured, did not require hospitalization.
Firefighters from Sontra and surrounding villages responded quickly to the scene of the accident. The police reported the incident, and the Occupational Safety Authority has launched an investigation into the cause of the accident.
The investigation will focus on the cause of the steel support's failure in the tunnel. The Occupational Safety Authority will investigate the accident site tomorrow to determine the exact cause of the accident.
The police are still reporting the incident, and no further details have been released at this time. The search results do not provide information about the leader of the occupational accident investigation in the Holstein tunnel of the A44 near Sontra.
Our thoughts are with the injured workers and their families at this difficult time. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
