- Holiday Travels on A3 Highway Erupt in Mishaps; Airport Functions Smoothly
During the last weekend of summer breaks in Hesse, adjacent to Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland, several incidents, traffic snarls, and momentary shutdowns occurred on the A3 highway. According to Wiesbaden's police department, two vehicles collided at the back end of a bottleneck between Idstein and Bad Camberg, moving towards Cologne. Luckily, neither driver was harmed, and both vehicles needed towing.
The ensuing congestion led to another accident involving three vehicles. Two of these vehicles were subsequently towed away, as the police announced. The incident left eleven individuals injured, three of whom had minor wounds. Due to the towing process, the highway was blocked for an hour and a half. Ahead of this, hessenschau.de reported on the matter.
Frankfurt Airport Remains Flawless
Surprisingly, Frankfurt Airport managed to keep functioning well despite the arrival of the holiday weekend. As per a spokesperson from Fraport, the airport was operating flawlessly. The airport, being one of the busiest during the holiday season, anticipates over 200,000 passengers daily, significantly surpassing the usual 150,000 to 160,000 passengers on weekends.
Although the A3 highway faced challenges due to incidents and traffic snarls, the transport and telecommunications sector remained resilient. Frankfurt Airport, being a crucial part of this sector, continued to operate smoothly during the holiday weekend, catering to over 200,000 passengers despite the congestion on the roads.
