Overview
- On the A93 between Luhe-Wildenau and Wernberg-Köblitz, an overturning lorry spilled about 20 tons of salmon, prompting a roughly 12‑hour full closure before the motorway reopened around 6 a.m. Saturday, with damage estimated near €450,000.
- The A9 near Rabenstein/Fläming remained closed after a gas-powered truck crashed and leaked gas; two people suffered minor injuries, authorities reported no danger to the public, and a specialist team was called to burn off the gas before recovery.
- Police in Rheinland-Pfalz reported more than 200 weather‑related crashes since Friday across multiple jurisdictions, including 106 in Westpfalz alone, mostly with minor injuries, as buses and roads in Mainz and Ludwigshafen required hours‑long interventions.
- An A7 crash near Illertissen left a car totaled after it struck a truck and caused a backup lasting more than two hours, though the motorist was largely uninjured.
- Investigations cite speed on icy roads, alcohol and right‑of‑way errors in several incidents, including a 2.14‰ alcohol case in Blankenburg, a suspected drunk‑driving crash near Berchtesgaden, and an 89‑year‑old’s right‑of‑way violation in Grettstadt that injured eight.
