German Highways Reopen After A5 and A7 Traffic Accidents

Major collisions on the A5 and A7 caused temporary closures, injuries, and delays, but both roads are now operational following emergency responses.

A collision between a car and a Wohnmobil on the A5 on April 7 led to a full closure in the Basel direction, creating an eight-kilometer traffic jam.
Three people sustained injuries in the A5 accident, with damages estimated at €40,000 by police.
The A5 closure was lifted by midday on April 7 after emergency crews cleared the scene and rerouted traffic via the Lahr exit.
On the morning of April 8, a separate multi-car collision involving three vehicles occurred on the A7 near the Elbtunnel, briefly closing the road.
One person sustained minor injuries in the A7 accident and was taken to the hospital; the road has since reopened.
