Overview
- A wrong‑way driver entered the A70 toward Bayreuth and collided with two other vehicles in a crash that took place on Friday evening.
- Police said several people were injured and that none of the injured appeared to be in life‑threatening condition based on initial reports.
- The Polizeipräsidium Oberfranken has opened an investigation and investigators say the exact number of injured people and the full sequence of events remain unclear.
- Traffic authorities and ADAC reported the A70 was closed between Viereth‑Trunstadt and Bamberg‑Hafen in the direction of Bamberg, forcing drivers to use alternate routes.
- The A70 links Bamberg with Bayreuth, so the closure may disrupt evening commutes and emergency services, and officials are urging drivers to avoid the affected stretch while work continues.
