Weather - Few traffic accidents despite persistent risk of icy roads
Despite the continuing risk of icy roads in the north, the traffic situation remained calm on Thursday night. Police spokespersons from the various situation centers in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg spoke of a relatively "calm and tranquil situation" in the morning. There were a few icy accidents, but relatively few and no injuries.
On the Autobahn 21 near Nettelsee in Schleswig-Holstein, an articulated truck slid into a ditch on a slippery road. As a result, the highway heading south had to be fully closed. A detour was set up. According to the police, the closure may continue for several hours. Traffic jams are to be expected, especially from the start of rush hour. No one was injured in the accident.
The German Weather Service continues to warn of frost and slippery conditions due to frozen slush. Temperatures are expected to fall below zero again, especially at night. Overall, however, the thermometer is expected to rise to up to eight degrees in the coming days. On Friday, the foothills of a storm depression are expected in northern Germany.
