Motorway webcam footage shared by the state roads authority in the Netherlands captured the scene at the accident. According to the roads authority, the disruption caused by the accident was minor due to the fact the roads were very quiet at the time.
De omleiding op de #A1 Hengelo -> Apeldoorn is aangepast: Bij Voorst (21) volg je N345 richting Apeldoorn. Het bergen van de windmolen gaat tot 12:00 uur duren, daarna volgen herstelwerkzaamheden op knp. Beekbergen. Gezien het lage verkeersaanbod verwachten we niet al te hinder. pic.twitter.com/5Iy555Hpwi

In a statement, the state roads authority said that the special transport was travelling on the A1 in the direction of Apeldoorn when it took the exit heading onto the A50 southbound.
Things went wrong on the bend, resulting in load falling down the embankment. Fortunately, nobody was injured and no other vehicles were caught up in the accident.
A temporary road closure had to be put in place while the load was recovered and lifted back onto the trailer.
En daar gaat het stalen gevaarte….. Het hangt in de kabels en ligt inmiddels bijna op het nieuwe transport. 🙄 We houden je op de hoogte over dit gebeuren op het knp. Beekbergen in dit artikel: https://t.co/jo2YnFldwz pic.twitter.com/CHEq1pn8gF
