Horse trailer detaches on A7 near Tarp and overturns

On the A7 near Tarp in the Schleswig-Flensburg district, a horse trailer detached from a vehicle on Friday morning and overturned. The team was on the way from Denmark to the Netherlands. The horse in the trailer sustained minor injuries, and a veterinarian was able to treat it on site. Before the rescue services arrived, the occupants of the car managed to get the trailer upright again. The highway towards Hamburg was closed for an hour. While the animal was being reloaded, the opposite direction was also closed for a short time. It is still unclear why the trailer suddenly came loose after driving about 250 kilometers.
