Overview

• A 21-year-old transport vehicle driver died after colliding with a truck on the A4 near Görlitz on Monday, leading to a temporary full closure of the highway.
• The accident, which occurred near the Tunnel Königshainer Berge, was likely caused by the transport vehicle hitting the end of a traffic jam, though investigations are ongoing.
• The A4 has since partially reopened, but significant congestion persists on alternate routes like the S122, B6, and B115 due to detours and holiday travel pressures.
• In a separate incident on the A13 on Monday evening, a failed overtaking maneuver involving three vehicles resulted in two people sustaining severe injuries.
• With the Easter holiday and school vacations beginning, authorities are preparing for increased traffic disruptions, particularly in areas like Zgorzelec, which faces heightened congestion risks.
