Horror accident on A73 triggers traffic chaos in the south of Munich
The motorway was completely closed in the direction of Fürth until 3:30 p.m. in order to carry out the rescue measures and record the accident.
Due to the onset of rush hour traffic, there was a real traffic chaos on the motorway and on the possible bypass routes.
The
A73
between Fürth and the junction to the
A6
is known to be a popular commuter route that is already well used without an accident.
Due to the lock, all the failure routes were also completely sealed in a very short time.
The traffic chaos lasted into the early evening hours.
The traffic police inspection in Feucht is now conducting further investigations to clarify the cause of the accident.
