Two fatalities in serious traffic accident on slippery highway in Bavaria
According to officials, the serious accident occurred near the Odelzhausen junction in the district of Dachau on Tuesday night. The car came under the rear of the articulated lorry, which was standing crosswise at the level of the acceleration lane and protruding into the middle lane. According to the information provided, the tarred road surface was slippery due to freezing rain during the accident.
The 64-year-old driver of the articulated lorry suffered minor injuries as a result of the collision. Around 75,000 euros worth of damage was caused to the vehicles. The exact cause of the accident is under investigation. The total closure of the A8 in the direction of Munich from the Adelzhausen junction was expected to last into the morning.
Highway 99, the Munich eastern bypass, was also closed. The cause here was a mass accident involving 13 vehicles in the Aschheim area in the northbound direction, also in black ice. According to the police, there were three accidents in the southbound direction, which is why this direction also had to be temporarily closed.
The severe onset of winter has been causing massive restrictions in Munich and the surrounding area for several days. There were no take-offs and landings at Munich Airport on Tuesday morning. Rail traffic is still restricted - there are no long-distance services from Munich to Salzburg, Innsbruck, Lindau and Zurich.
