A3 Motorway Reopens After Severe Accident Near Emmerich

Police investigations continue as one person remains in critical condition following a crash involving two vehicles that disrupted traffic overnight.

A severe accident occurred on the A3 motorway near Emmerich on Sunday evening, involving an Audi and a Mercedes and resulting in multiple injuries, including one person in critical condition.
The accident site spanned several hundred meters, with one vehicle standing crosswise on the road and another in the opposite direction.
The A3 between Emmerich-Ost and Rees was closed for an extended period, with traffic diverted through urban areas, causing delays, particularly on Weseler Straße.
Emergency services, including police and a helicopter, remained on-site into Monday morning to investigate the cause and impact of the crash.
The motorway has since reopened, and traffic flow has normalized, though police investigations into the incident are ongoing.
