The incident happened around 11:30 a.m. on Landecker Street. During the washing process, the driver did not put the automatic transmission selector lever in “Park”. This caused the car to start moving on its own. As a result, several parts of the car wash were damaged. The resulting material damage amounts to around 9,500 euros.
In order to prevent accidents, the Police in the Hersfeld district have taken timber transporters out of service – and a clear overload was detected.
