Train Halted Due to Damaged Wheel Bolts and Brake System: Police Intervention Needed
In an unexpected turn of events, officers from the traffic division of the Autobahnpolizei inspected a Hungarian MAN articulated lorry near Verl on the A2, on September 12, 2025. The inspection, which took place around 11:00 at the Sürenheide rest area, revealed several significant defects on the vehicle.
The inspection uncovered a major defect on a wheel of the trailer, with five of the ten wheel bolts completely sheared off and missing. The remaining bolts were so worn and loose that they could easily shear off, posing a serious risk if the vehicle had continued to be driven at high speed on the highway. This could have resulted in significant damage.
In addition to the wheel defect, the service and parking brake of the trailer were found to be defective. These issues were serious enough to prohibit the 59-year-old Serbian driver from continuing his journey until the defects were repaired. The driver was also imposed approximately 545 euros in fines.
