Truck shoots through crash barrier and drives down slope on A12 | Gouda

The truck ran off the road on the A12 near Woerden for unknown reasons. The truck ended up on its side at the bottom of the slope. The driver was taken to hospital with unknown injuries.

The truck will be recovered tonight. That is why two lanes in the direction of Utrecht are closed. The ground next to the road is being remediated due to diesel leakage. This will last until about midnight, Rijkswaterstaat expects. The guardrail is also being repaired.

About the same time as the accident at Woerden, accidents occurred in both directions in quick succession on the A20 at Moordrecht. Several cars and a truck collided in the direction of Rotterdam. Moments later, an accident also happened in the other direction.

The accident in the direction of Rotterdam resulted in a long traffic jam. Even before the Gouwe Viaduct, traffic was stuck. Motorists were advised to drive via The Hague.
