Overview
- After a traffic stop in Aßlar-Bechlingen, a 29-year-old driver allegedly hit a 53-year-old officer who then fired; the driver was seriously injured, the officer was treated and discharged, and the LKA and Limburg prosecutor are investigating on suspicion of attempted homicide.
- On the A4 near Friedewald, a semi breached the concrete median overnight, severely injuring the driver and forcing an eastbound closure that pushed heavy trucks onto an unsuitable local detour, causing additional blockages.
- A6 near Schnelldorf saw a truck rear-end a heavy haul; an excavator arm pierced the cab, the driver suffered only minor injuries, and the tight construction zone closure lasted into the morning.
- A7 near Dettingen an der Iller remained closed for hours after a van drove into a tanker, leaving the van driver seriously hurt and prompting extensive cleanup of spilled edible oil.
- Authorities confirmed planned shutdowns and detours including Freising’s Vöttinger Tunnel maintenance from November 3–7 with a corrected diversion and staged A52 closures in Essen from November 12–18 for a new pedestrian bridge installation.
