Terrible accident on A4: rescue helicopter in action for infants!

A dramatic chaos on the A4 motorway near Aachen! A car got into skid due to standing water and crashed into the guardrail. This was the beginning of a chain reaction: a second car was involved in the accident, and a truck could not brake in time, which led to further collisions. The highway turned into an accident site!

motorway blocked - when will it go on?

The cause of the standing water? A overflowed raincap basin next to the highway! Parts of the road are still flooded, and the A4 towards Cologne remains closed for the time being. When the road will be released is uncertain. Drivers have to prepare for long waiting times!
