Overview
- A 12-year-old cyclist died at Kempten’s Adenauerring/Memminger Straße junction after crossing on red, and prosecutors ordered an expert reconstruction while the intersection was closed for roughly four hours.
- Police stopped a 94-year-old wrong-way driver who entered the A995 and then the A8 in the opposite direction; he struck a parked police car near Irschenberg at about 100 km/h, was lightly injured, and had his license seized as traffic was briefly diverted.
- On the A7 near Bad Brückenau, a 38-year-old wrong-way driver entered a one‑lane construction zone and triggered a multi-vehicle crash; she and a child sustained minor injuries and her license was confiscated.
- The A8 Albaufstieg toward Munich is fully closed between Mühlhausen im Täle and Merklingen through early Monday for winter prep work, with Autobahn GmbH directing long-distance traffic via A6/A7 and urging drivers to avoid backroads and follow marked detours.
- Rosenheim and Berchtesgadener Land are enforcing weekend and holiday exit bans on parts of the A8/A93 to keep traffic off local roads, with trials planned in the Allgäu and reviews under way in Miesbach as the ADAC warns of heavy holiday congestion.
