Two Major Crashes Snarl Bavarian Autobahns: Four Hurt on A6, Truck Driver Killed on A9

Authorities report lengthy recovery operations, with causes still under review.

Overview

  • On the A6 near Wendelstein around 21:15, a car and multiple trucks collided, injuring four people and forcing a full closure toward Amberg for hours.
  • Police say an initial contact between a car and a tractor unit on the middle lane was followed by further impacts that left four vehicles blocking all lanes.
  • Emergency response on the A6 included Verkehrspolizei Feucht, local fire brigades, rescue services and THW, with spilled cargo and fuel complicating clearance.
  • Separately on the A9 near Neuburg at about 08:45, a 54-year-old truck driver died at the scene after his vehicle drifted right and tipped on the green strip, causing multi‑kilometre queues.
  • The Ingolstadt traffic police report no external influence on the A9 crash and have not ruled out a prior medical issue, as investigations continue and recovery work takes time.
