Overview

  • Three consecutive rear-end collisions on the A9 between Holledau and Langenbruck around 14:00 halted northbound traffic.
  • The crash site stretched roughly 100 meters and led to an initial full closure followed by hours-long blockages of the right and middle lanes.
  • Traffic backed up as much as 20 kilometers while emergency services and multiple fire brigades worked to clear the roadway.
  • Separate collisions on the A99 near Munich and the B2 near Donauwörth also blocked lanes and prompted emergency rescues without serious injuries.
  • Police are investigating the A9 accidents and have issued renewed warnings about maintaining adequate safety distances on highways.
