like br.de an accident series occurred on the A9 on Wednesday morning, which also led to full closure. The first accident happened between Denkendorf and Lenting when a 58-year-old driver crashed into the middle course and held 300 meters away.

A second accident occurred a few hours later at Lenting, where a truck opened on two standing trucks. The 53-year-old driver of the rising truck was seriously injured. To land a rescue helicopter was necessary to temporarily block it.

It is the third day in a row when full closures occur on the A9 in the vicinity of Ingolstadt. Previously, a truck loaded with meat had overturned at Lenting on Monday, which resulted in a long use of the rescue work. On Tuesday there was another accident with a tank truck further south, where the highway had to be closed for hours from the Manching junction.
