Huge traffic jam after accident on the B19 near Waltenhofen!

Late on Thursday afternoon, January 9, 2025, there was a traffic accident between a truck and a car on the B19 near Waltenhofen. As a result of the accident, which took place between the Waltenhofen and Waltenhofen-Süd junction, the truck crashed into the guardrail. Two people were slightly injured in the incident.

The accident led to the closure of the carriageway, which made a diversion through Waltenhofen necessary. This diversion quickly became overloaded and led to longer waiting times, especially from Kempten in the south direction. The opposite direction was also affected as the guardrail protruded into the left lane, which led to this lane being closed. There was also a traffic jam at the Waltenhofen exit on the A980 motorway. Further information on developments at the accident site is being planned allgaeuhit.de reported.

Traffic delays during rush hour

The accident not only caused significant traffic delays, but also led to another incident at the scene. During rush hour traffic there was a long backlog on the B19 towards Oberstdorf. The truck and car were not the only vehicles affected; The guardrail, which partially protruded into the left-hand lane, also blocked this lane. The B19 is currently still closed. Details and updates on more information to follow as allgaeuer-zeitung.de reported.
