Overview

• A motor glider that departed Reinsdorf crashed into a maize field in Niederer Fläming, killing the pilot and his brother-in-law, as police recovered the wreckage and kept the cause under investigation.
• Witnesses at the airfield reported possible wind shear at the time of the crash, a lead authorities have not confirmed.
• On the A2 near Rodenberg, seven vehicles collided after a car stopped on the left lane, injuring eight people and prompting a nearly six-hour closure as police search for the fleeing driver.
• Near Forstinning on the B12, a 71-year-old lost consciousness and crashed into a waiting car, leaving four people injured, closing the road for about two hours and sending the driver to intensive care.
• Police issued appeals for witnesses in multiple cases, including a six-injury crash near Kolitzheim and an A8 sideswipe between Burgau and Zusmarshausen where accounts conflict over who was driving.
