  • In Munich a 32-year-old alleged intoxicated driver without a license led police on a one-hour spree of collisions before USK officers subdued him, leaving four officers lightly injured and prompting blood‐sample tests.
  • Prosecutors have ordered forensic analysis of a head-on collision near Bachhagel that killed a 42-year-old woman after her car veered into oncoming traffic, and authorities are gathering witness statements.
  • Rescuers in Teisendorf used hydraulic tools to free a trapped 30-year-old Seat driver, who was airlifted in critical condition and whose crash will be examined by an independent expert.
  • Verkehrspolizei Bamberg is appealing to witnesses after a hit-and-run driver on the A70 near Hallstadt forced a lorry into a barrier, causing damage and triggering a criminal investigation.
