Multiple Serious Crashes Across Germany Spur Investigations Into Reckless Driving, Runaway Camel, Bus Mishap

Police have opened investigations into causes from alleged illegal overtaking to a camel that escaped a circus enclosure.

Overview

  • On the S258 near Zwönitz, an Audi driver allegedly crossed no‑overtaking lines and hit a Land Rover head‑on, leaving several people seriously injured and forcing a full closure with a mass‑casualty response.
  • A Kleinbus and a transporter collided on the A9 near Leipzig, with one person seriously hurt and eight lightly injured as two northbound lanes were shut for rescue and investigation.
  • A three‑vehicle crash on the B289 near Kupferberg left one person severely trapped and multiple others injured, closed the road for hours, and caused at least €200,000 in damage.
  • In Munich, a city bus rolled uncontrolled onto the roadway; the driver was pinned against a lamppost while trying to stop it and suffered severe injuries as traffic police examine the technical cause.
  • Police detailed an earlier A7 case near Frickenhausen in which a 49‑year‑old fled on foot after crashing into a truck and was later found with minor injuries, with probes into suspected drug use and driving without a license.
