Woman Dies After Car Collides With Two Trucks on B31 Near Löffingen

Investigators are working to determine why the vehicle crossed into oncoming traffic.

Overview

  • Police report the crash occurred around 9:15 a.m. between Rötebach and Löffingen on the B31 in Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald.
  • The car moved into the opposing lane, grazed one oncoming truck, then struck a second, and both truck drivers were uninjured.
  • Firefighters freed the trapped driver from the car, but she died at the scene despite resuscitation efforts.
  • The B31 was fully closed for the investigation, and the Freiburg-bound side remained shut for ongoing recovery operations.
  • In a separate incident around 6:20 a.m. on the B85 between Michelfeld and Horlach, a failed overtaking attempt led to a car–truck collision that left the car’s 58-year-old driver with minor injuries and caused a closure until about 8:00 a.m.
