Snow in Bavaria: That often means chaos on the streets.
So this time too - on Monday there were numerous accidents on the motorways.
Munich - When the helpers of the Geiselbullach fire brigade were called to an operation at
the Eschenried triangle on the Autobahn 8
late on Sunday evening
, the rescuers were presented with a picture of the devastation.
A semi-
trailer
truck slipped on a slippery road surface and
crashed
into a massive
bridge of
signs
with full force
.
The driver's cab was completely demolished, the truck driver trapped.
He had to be rescued with heavy equipment before he could be taken to hospital, seriously injured.
Highways 8 and 99 had to remain closed until the early hours of the morning.
Snow in Bavaria: Fürstenfeldbruck police registered 17 accidents in 24 hours
The fresh snow and the slippery lanes caused a whole series of
traffic obstructions
and
accidents
in Upper Bavaria
on Monday night
.
The police in Fürstenfeldbruck alone registered a total of 17 accidents within 24 hours.
The focus was on the A8
.
Even before the accident with the tractor-trailer, there had been several crashes in the area.
A driver had lost control of her car on the muddy road and skidded over the lanes.
An approaching driver couldn't evade and collided with the woman's car.
Both were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
On a federal road in the municipality of Hohenkammer (Freising district),
a 36-year-old driver came off the road in a right-hand bend and crashed into a tree.
He came to the hospital injured on Saturday.
On Monday morning, traffic on the A92 came to a standstill at the Erding junction.

Hohenaltheim: 24-year-old falls into a three-meter-deep ditch
In the Swabian Hohenaltheim (Donau-Ries district), a 24-year-old fell with her car from a snow-smooth county road into a
ditch
about three meters deep
, the police announced on Monday.
The driver suffered several
bruises
and a
whiplash
injury on Sunday
.
She also had to be taken to a clinic.
The German Weather Service (DWD) expected further snowfall from the northwest for Bavaria on Tuesday night.
“From late morning onwards, these will turn into rain,” predicts a DWD spokesman.
From Tuesday afternoon, this could again lead to over-
freezing wetness and black ice
, especially on the Danube, the eastern low mountain ranges and the Bavarian Forest.
Otherwise, the meteorologists expect slightly milder temperatures on Tuesday.
In Main Franconia these could rise to plus six degrees.
The coldest is down to minus eight degrees in the Alps.
