Overview

  • Traffic toward Passau has reopened, while Nürnberg-bound lanes and the A3 link to the A93 toward Hof remain closed, according to police.
  • Police said the remaining restrictions were expected to last about an hour as crews finish extinguishing and clearing the scene.
  • The motorway was initially closed in both directions during the emergency response.
  • The truck was carrying about 300 liters of heating oil, which added complexity to the operation.
  • No injuries have been reported, and a suspected tire blowout is being examined as the cause.
