Rescue Helicopters and Closures as Bavaria Sees String of Weekend Crashes

Police open inquiries into causes across the separate crashes.

Overview

  • On Sunday on the A7 near Dietmannsried, a three-car rear‑end chain collision injured six people, including one seriously, prompting two rescue helicopters to land and a roughly two‑hour closure before traffic reopened around 13:00.
  • Police in Kempten estimated about €24,000 in damage from the A7 crash, reported damage to the central guardrail, and said all three vehicles were towed from the scene.
  • In Hebertshausen on Sunday, an 82‑year‑old driver turned left and collided with a motorcyclist with right of way, and both the motorcycle and car burned; the rider was severely injured and airlifted, and the state road was closed for about three hours.
  • Early Monday on the TÖL 7 near Wackersberg, a 21‑year‑old left the roadway in a right‑hand curve and hit a tree, sustaining the most severe injuries before being flown to a Munich clinic, with the road fully closed until 7 a.m.
  • On Saturday around Marktoberdorf, three separate incidents involving a pedelec rider, a road cyclist, and a 14‑year‑old e‑scooter rider led to injuries of varying severity, including one airlift, and resulted in vehicle damage and one car being towed.
