Three people were injured in a rear-end collision caused by an overtaking attempt on the Autobahn 9 in the Bayreuth district. According to initial findings, a car had switched from the middle lane to the left lane between Bayreuth and Trockau in the direction of Munich in order to overtake another vehicle. A police spokesman reported that a vehicle that was already traveling at high speed in the left lane hit the car.
