Collapse of rocks in the A44 tunnel close to Sontra
In an unfortunate incident this morning, a construction project on the Holstein Tunnel of the A44 near Sontra, Werra-Meißner district, took a turn for the worse. Two workers were injured during the incident, with one of them, a 35-year-old individual, sustaining serious injuries.
The seriously injured worker was immediately flown by helicopter to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention. The second worker, whose identity and age are not specified, was lightly injured in the accident. Unfortunately, no further information about the condition of the second worker is available at this time.
The police are involved in the incident, and firefighters from Sontra and surrounding villages responded promptly to the scene. A large rock was dislodged as a result of a steel beam giving way within the tunnel.
The responsible party for the work accident investigation at the Holstein Tunnel on the A44 near Sontra is typically the relevant construction site management or the official safety authorities involved, such as the Berufsgenossenschaft (German statutory accident insurance) or local accident investigation authorities.
The Occupational Safety Authority will inspect the accident site tomorrow to determine the exact cause of the accident. The purpose of the inspection is to ensure the safety of future construction work and to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available. Our thoughts are with the injured workers and their families during this difficult time.
