Deadly Weekend on German Roads: Two Fatalities and Multiple Injuries in Separate Crashes

Police open investigations into two fatal weekend crashes, with expert reconstructions underway.

Overview

  • On the A5 near Bad Homburg, a 49-year-old who left his wrecked BMW was struck after a following Suzuki hit a detached tire and spun, with a court expert called and lanes closed again for documentation including drone imaging.
  • On the B62 at Friedewald, a 34-year-old was ejected and died after aborting an overtake and rolling his car, and the highway was sealed for roughly three and a half hours.
  • A wet-surface spin on the A61 at Nettetal injured four people, three of them seriously, and the full closure toward Koblenz ended at 17:35.
  • In Bernburg, a car hit a siren-running ambulance, tipping it onto its side and injuring four including the patient, who was flown to a hospital.
  • Elsewhere, an 81-year-old in Vogelsbergkreis was airlifted after a right-of-way crash with a gutachter deployed, police seized a Bergheim driver’s license over suspected alcohol after a three-injury collision, a B71 teen driver was badly hurt, and A9 recovery work kept lanes shut near Wiedemar.
