Schkölen/Jena, June 25, 2026 – On the L 1372 country road between Zschorgula and Schkölen, dangerous contamination occurred on Tuesday morning due to a liquid manure trail approximately 100 meters long. There was an acute risk of skidding, particularly for two-wheeled vehicle riders in the affected curve area, before the roadway could be cleaned.
- Event: Roadway contamination due to liquid manure trail
- Location: L 1372 between Zschorgula and Schkölen (curve area)
- Time: Tuesday morning, June 23, 2026
- Danger: Acute skidding hazard for motorcyclists and cyclists
- Measures: Rapid securing, signage, and cleaning
Source of danger in the curve area
On Tuesday morning, an attentive road user reported significant contamination on the L 1372 country road. On-site, the alerted emergency services found that a liquid manure trail approximately 100 meters long stretched across the roadway. The liquid had already dried in the affected curve area between Zschorgula and Schkölen.
This created an extremely greasy film on the asphalt. For two-wheeled vehicle riders – both motorcyclists and cyclists – this contamination in the middle of the curve posed an acute risk of skidding. On two wheels, such a sudden loss of traction can quickly lead to serious falls.
Rapid response prevents accidents
To prevent serious accidents, the responsible road maintenance authority was immediately alerted. Those in charge reacted quickly: warning signs were set up within a very short time to warn following traffic of the skidding hazard in a timely manner. Simultaneously, emergency services initiated comprehensive cleaning measures so that the liquid manure trail could be removed from the road quickly and professionally.
Country roads like the L 1372 are heavily used by agricultural vehicles, especially in summer. The loss of cargo or liquid manure represents a serious danger. Thanks to the witness’s quick report and the maintenance authority’s immediate action, the worst was prevented. The route was reopened after the work was completed.
The police are now investigating the unauthorized loss of cargo against persons unknown. Recently, there were other traffic-relevant restrictions in the region, such as a pipe burst in Eisenberg, which also required rapid intervention.
