Terrible accident on A7: Toddler seriously injured, eight others affected!
On Sunday afternoon, June 29, 2025, there was a serious traffic accident on the A7 near Ohrbach in the Ansbach district, which resulted in numerous injuries. At around 5:20 p.m., a VW collided with a Volvo that was moving in the same direction for reasons that are still unclear. Both vehicles then skidded and crashed into the guardrail before hitting a Skoda following. A total of eight people were slightly injured in this accident, while a small child was seriously but fortunately not life-threatening. The little one had to be taken to the hospital in a rescue helicopter, report the Bavaria Police and inFranken.
The rescue workers had to react immediately: a total of seven ambulances were on site to care for those affected. The exact course of the accident is being investigated by the Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Bad Windsheim police stations. The support of the Burgbernheim fire department and the Neusitz motorway maintenance department were also deployed to redirect traffic and secure the accident site.
Course of the accident and consequences
The accident occurred in the usual traffic flow in the direction of Würzburg, which made it necessary for the rescue workers to partially close the A7 completely in this section. This measure meant that the rescue work and accident recording took until at least 8:28 p.m. The estimated property damage amounts to tens of thousands of euros, another aspect that the police take into account in their investigation.
