A24 near Meyenburg: truck overturned - traffic jam and complete closure!
On Monday, July 21, 2025, a serious incident occurred on the A24 motorway towards Hamburg when a tractor-trailer overturned at around 5:30 p.m. The accident occurred between the Meyenburg and Putlitz junctions, like maz-online.de reported. The truck, which was loaded with 26 tons of turf, is now blocking two lanes of the highway.
Luckily, the driver of the truck was alone in the vehicle and was uninjured. There were no other road users involved or injured. The oncoming lane towards Berlin remains unaffected by the accident, which is a relief for those traveling in that direction.
Traffic jams and full closures
As a result of the accident, a full closure was set up in the direction of Hamburg at the Meyenburg junction. Particular caution is required as rescuing the overturned tractor-trailer will take some time. “The cargo needs to be reloaded,” according to the authorities. During rush hour traffic there was already a traffic jam of over five kilometers before the departure, which further aggravated the situation.
The exact duration of the full closure cannot yet be estimated. The accident on the A24 is not an isolated case - how tag24.de emphasized - but the impact on traffic should not be underestimated. Every day the media reports on accidents, closures and disruptions on this busy route.
A risky route
The A24, which connects Berlin and Hamburg, is considered a known danger zone. Accidents like this are part of everyday life on this busy route. Important points on the route include the Schwerin intersection, Wittstock triangle and Neuruppin. In such incidents, it is always recommended to avoid the affected sections of the route to avoid further complications. Unhindered flows of road users and possibly wrong-way drivers must also be taken into account, as various types of accidents such as those involving cars, motorcycles or trucks can be observed every day.
The police have already started an investigation into the exact cause of the accident in order to get to the bottom of the question of how this incident could have happened. It remains to be hoped that the rescue work will be completed quickly so that the A24 motorway can soon be used safely again.
