Overview
- In Kempten, a 12-year-old cyclist who police say crossed on red at Adenauerring/Memminger Straße died at the scene, and a court-appointed expert will reconstruct the crash.
- A 94-year-old drove the wrong way on the A995 and A8 for over 30 kilometers before striking a parked police car at Irschenberg at about 100 km/h; he was lightly injured and his license was seized as the road reopened around 5:15 a.m.
- On the A7 near Bad Brückenau, a 38-year-old wrong-way driver caused a multi-vehicle crash in a one-lane work zone, leaving her and a child lightly injured and prompting a police investigation and license seizure.
- The A8 toward Munich is fully closed between Mühlhausen im Täle and Merklingen from Oct. 31 at 21:00 to Nov. 3 at 05:00 for winter preparations, with official detours and a request to avoid local ‘Schleichwege’ or navigation reroutes.
