Winterchaos in Hesse: A3 locked, trucks are stuck in the snow!

Ransbach-Baumbach, Rheinland-Pfalz, Deutschland - Winter hit Westhessen with full force! In the night of Thursday, November 21, the A3 turned into a chaotic battlefield from stuck trucks and crashed cars. The streets were a single mess when the first snowflakes fell and the drivers were confronted with smooth conditions. A serious accident between Ransbach-Baumbach and Dierdorf ensured hours of closure and a traffic chaos that kept the rescue workers in suspense.

A truck had lost control and pushed several vehicles into one another after the driver could not slow down in time. Three people were slightly injured and the fire brigade had to free two other people from their cars. The property damage? A shocking six -digit amount! The emergency services were busy cleaning up until 4 a.m.
