In the serious traffic accident on the A1 near Gevelsberg im Ruhr area on Friday (February 11) there were apparently some gazers who wanted to look at the scene of the accident – including rapper Sido!
He was also in the twelve-kilometer traffic jam A1 in the Ruhr area and filmed the operation on site. He then posted the video on Instagram – while one of the casualties in the hospital was in mortal danger.

On Friday, a 35-year-old truck driver was surprised by slow traffic and drove into the rear of the truck in front of him without braking. The force of the impact pushed the car onto a semi truck in front of it. The 35-year-old had to be cut out of the deformed vehicle and flown by helicopter to a clinic, where he fought for his life. The other truck driver, a 59-year-old, escaped with minor injuries, the 30-year-old semitrailer driver was unharmed. (More details about the accident on the A1 in the Ruhr area can be found here >>>)
As the emergency services reported on site, there were many gaffers at the scene of the accident near Gevelsberg. The police had to issue a total of eight administrative offense reports. Rapper Sido was apparently not among them. However, the musician stood in the long traffic jam that had formed behind the cordoned-off accident site.
He used the waiting time to film the emergency services and the damaged vehicles and later put the video on his Instagram story. Depending on the setting, it is automatically deleted after 24 hours, but all of his 1.1 million followers were able to see the recordings. A big problem, as the police and fire brigade explain.
A1 in the Ruhr area: Many gazers at the scene of the accident – the police see an increasing problem
Because while the injured driver of the first truck was struggling for his life in the hospital, many people were able to see the vehicles involved in the accident and also the license plates in the video – and recognize them. A spokeswoman for the Dortmund motorway police. Kristina Purschke found that very worrying. Because even relatives could have seen the video and recognized the vehicles. Surely no one wants to find out about the misfortune of a relative or friend in this way.

This is how you form the rescue lane correctly:
- one lane: all cars drive as far to the right as possible
- if there are two lanes, all cars in the right lane drive as far to the right as possible, in the left lane as far to the left as possible
- with three lanes: right and middle lane move to the right, left lane moves to the left
- This creates an alley between the middle and left lane
- this should be at least 2.50 meters wide
- Switching to the hard shoulder is always an alternative
- Under no circumstances should you use the emergency lane to make faster progress in traffic jams
- this will block them again and even if an ambulance has driven through, others might follow

Not only is staring irreverent, it is just as dangerous. “The problem is increasing. And the real difficulty is that they brake so hard at the scene of the accident that they worsen the traffic jam or cause further accidents – also in the oncoming lane,” says Purschke. Drivers would often film the scene of an accident from out of the car, and thus not only commit an administrative offense because of using their mobile phone at the wheel, but also endanger themselves and others.

The fire brigade and rescue service are also increasingly struggling with onlookers. As district fire chief Rolf-Erich Rehm, who was at the scene of the accident himself on Friday, mentioned, “it only gets quieter at the scene when the police have arrived.” The emergency services would increasingly have to create screens for the victims of the accident in front of the onlookers, as the “” reported.
