Overview

• A trailer carrying a tiny house detached around 1:50 a.m. on the A7 near Kaufungen between the Kassel-Mitte interchange and the Kassel-Ost exit.
• The loose trailer struck a VW Tiguan, which was pushed into the concrete barrier, before the trailer rolled for several hundred meters and came to a stop near Kassel-Ost.
• No one was injured in the tiny-house incident, and police estimate property damage at about €20,000.
• The recovery of the oversized trailer was complex and caused significant traffic delays that extended into the morning commute.
• In a separate crash around 1:00 a.m. near Neu-Ulm, a car hit the rear of a lorry, leaving the 49-year-old driver slightly injured and his vehicle a total loss as multiple local fire departments responded.
