The Grand Ducal Police have reported that a fatal road accident occurred on the A7 on the section between the Grouft and Stafelter tunnels in the direction of Luxembourg in the evening of Thursday 9 June 2022, around 21:15.

For reasons that have yet to be clarified, a driver stopped her car in the breakdown lane and got out there, whereupon she was hit by a passing lorry. A little later, the 27-year-old woman from the south of the country succumbed to her injuries in hospital.

The two other occupants of the vehicle were also taken to a hospital to be checked. The measuring and detection service of the criminal police was entrusted with the on-site investigation by the public prosecutor's office. The A7 motorway was closed for several hours between the Lorentzweiler and Waldhof exits.

Anyone who witnessed the accident and who can provide relevant information, in particular how the accident happened, is asked to report to the national traffic police on tel.: 244 175 200, by email: upr-sia@police.etat.lu or the police emergency number 113.
