Multiple Major Traffic Incidents Disrupt Germany

Fatal accidents, severe injuries, and infrastructure damage reported across highways, railways, and local roads in Germany.

A collision between a Güterzug and a Bauzug near Kerpen caused three injuries, significant rail damage, and days-long disruption on the Cologne-Aachen railway line.
A fatal crash on the A4 near Schmölln left one man dead and another severely injured after a vehicle crossed into oncoming traffic.
An 86-year-old woman died in a head-on collision with a truck during an overtaking attempt on the B272, resulting in a multi-hour road closure.
Severe winter weather contributed to multiple accidents, including a silo truck sliding into a ditch on the A31 and a car overturning in the Vogtlandkreis, causing fatalities and delays.
Traffic on the A45 resumed late Friday after an 11-hour closure caused by a truck veering off-road and requiring complex recovery efforts.
