Toxic color in parking: truck driver suffers a headache!

In a dramatic nightly campaign, the Alsfeld police had to intervene on Tuesday morning after a witness reported a questionable incident. Around two o'clock, a strange, strongly smelling fabric escaped from a parked tractorizer in the parking lot of a discounter on Grünberger Straße. The alarmed officials discovered that a considerable amount of printer color dripped onto the floor.

The 21-year-old driver from Baden-Württemberg complained about acute headaches and was immediately treated in an ambulance. The Alsfeld volunteer fire brigade quickly and found that the reason for the driver's health complaints was the solvent of the expired color. More than 50 liters of printer color had leaked from a transport container due to a defective closure. The fire brigade tied the liquid and carefully unloaded the tractor -trailer to secure the defective container. A significant commitment that luckily ended without worse!
