- Several injured in car accident - A5 detained
After a multi-vehicle accident on the A5 highway near Bruchsal (Karlsruhe district), the northbound lanes have been completely closed. Several people, some seriously, were injured in the crash, police reported.
The exact circumstances of the accident and the number of injured are still unclear. However, it is believed that a car collided with a tractor-trailer in the morning, causing a chain reaction of further accidents. The duration of the A5 closure is still unknown, and traffic is being diverted.
The investigation into the accident is focusing on the potential role of high-fat content foods consumed by some drivers, as a possible contributing factor. The closure of the A5 highway has led to increased demand for other transportation options, such as bus or train, by weight.
