Sports car accident on A70: massive traffic jams and 40,000 euros in damage!
An accident on the A70 near Oberhaid caused massive traffic jams in the region on Sunday afternoon, October 26, 2025. A 38-year-old driver lost control of his sports car due to excessive speed. The car skidded and crashed into the outer and central guard rails. Fortunately, neither the driver nor his 37-year-old passenger suffered any injuries. The car remained in the left lane and the damage is estimated at around 40,000 euros. Luckily, the car was quickly towed away, which gradually eased the traffic situation. Nevertheless, a traffic jam initially formed that lasted for about an hour, as inFranken reports.
On Monday, October 27, 2025, the traffic situation on the A70 between Bamberg and the Bamberg junction continued to be affected by cleaning work and a broken truck. As of 10:29 a.m., the hard shoulder was blocked and the right lane was closed. It was also noted elsewhere on the A70 between Hallstadt and Bamberg that all accident sites had now been cleared and there were no longer any traffic disruptions, as stau.info reports. Here is an overview of the most important traffic reports:
Current traffic situation on the A70
| Time | route | information |
|---|---|---|
| 10:44 am | Bamberg harbor → Kreuz Bamberg | 2.6 km traffic jam, average speed 12 km/h, time lost up to 12 minutes. |

| 5:30 p.m. (October 26th) | Bayreuth → Schweinfurt/Werneck | Danger from objects on the road, right and hard shoulder blocked. |
Unfortunately, traffic jams are not uncommon on the A70. Shortly before, on October 26th, a 1.6 km long traffic jam with an average speed of just 5 km/h was recorded between Scheßlitz and the Bamberg intersection. The time lost here was up to 20 minutes. Such traffic disruptions always cause long faces among drivers, but one can only hope that the situation will ease quickly.
In addition to the incident described, there were other accidents and traffic disruptions on the A70 on other days last week. The constant reports about closed roads and clearing work remind drivers to always drive carefully and attentively in order to keep the risk of accidents as low as possible.
