Terrible accident on the A4: 60-year-old injured in collision!

On October 2, 2024, a traffic accident on the A4 motorway at the Bucha junction puts the traffic situation for many drivers to the test. Around 3:30 p.m., two vehicles collide when a 60-year-old driver of a Kia from Rhineland-Palatinate apparently rises on an Opel for an unknown cause that is directed by an 84-year-old man from Berlin.

In the incident, the 60-year-old passenger suffers minor injuries and must be taken to the hospital for treatment. Both vehicles suffer considerable property damage, which is estimated at at least 15,000 euros. The vehicles must be recovered by towing services, which leads to a full closure of the highway.

traffic disruptions and traffic jams

The full closure takes about 45 minutes, which leads to considerable traffic disruptions. Drivers have to adjust to the traffic jam of up to 3 kilometers. The tunnels Lobdeburg and Jagdberg are particularly affected, which are also blocked during this time. Such traffic jams are not unusual on strongly frequented routes, but this incident provides additional inconvenience for travelers.

The police have set up a contact form for witnesses that can provide relevant information on the course of the accident. Witnesses are asked to contact the Thuringia Inspectorate on 036601 700.

accidents such as this underline the importance of safe driving behavior, especially on motorways, where high speeds and unpredictable situations often come together. In view of the damage and the slightly injured person, the exact circumstances of the collision will continue to be examined to find out what has led to this incident. The police will provide further information in the coming days to fully clarify the case.
