Ducklings on the A66 in Kinzigtal caused a stir in rush hour traffic. The highway was closed. The police and fire brigade rescued the animals.
Langenselbold – “Thank you for your patience – even if standing still in rush hour traffic is particularly difficult.” In this case, however, the wait was worth it because it was about the lives of a small family of ducks,” said the police on Thursday afternoon, referring to an unusual closure of the A66 motorway in the Kinzigtal.
Ducklings rescued by police and fire brigade on A66
According to the Southeast Hesse police headquarters, the duck family was reported between the A66 Langenselbold junction and the Langenselbold triangle at around 4:30 p.m. An initial radio patrol was unable to detect any animals on site. But soon afterwards the clues in the thicket became thicker.
And the ducklings were actually in the densely overgrown median strip of the A66. In order to save the animals from the danger area, both directions of the motorway were temporarily closed,” reported police spokesman Thomas Leipold about the animal operation on the motorway in Kinzigtal.
Thanks to an attentive citizen, two radio patrols and the Langenselbold fire department, all ten chicks were finally captured unharmed. The mother duck had apparently flown away and was no longer seen. The chicks were then taken to a wildlife center where they are now being cared for.
After around 30 minutes, the motorway was clear again – and the little chicks that had gotten onto the A66 were safe.
