- Man dies in accident - lockdown lifted on A60
The closure of the A60 following a fatal car accident was lifted in the evening. In the afternoon, two cars collided head-on between the Prüm interchange and Bleialf, as police reported. The highway has only one lane in each direction at that point and no median barrier, as a spokesperson said.
A 54-year-old man from Saarland died at the scene of the accident, while his 18-year-old passenger was lightly injured, it was reported. The driver of the other car suffered severe injuries. Both injured parties were airlifted to the hospital. The highway was closed. The cause of the head-on collision will be determined by an expert.
Traffic control officers implemented blocking strategies to manage the flow of vehicles following the accident-related highway closure. Due to the absence of a median barrier, authorities advised motorists to exercise extra caution when resuming travel along the single lane section.
