Fatal accident on the A99: 79-year-old dies, traffic jam all the way to Munich!
A tragic traffic accident occurred on Saturday, October 25, 2025, on the A99 towards Salzburg, shortly after the Munich North motorway junction. At around 6:15 a.m., a 27-year-old driver left the road for unknown reasons and crashed into a concrete barrier. His vehicle stopped in the left lane. As a result, a 73-year-old man and his granddaughter got out to help the young driver; the elder's 79-year-old wife remained in the car.
Unfortunately, another serious incident occurred: a 19-year-old who was driving a van saw the stationary vehicle and tried to avoid it. Nevertheless, he collided with the 73-year-old's car, in which his wife was sitting. She suffered such serious injuries in the impact that she later died in a Munich hospital. The 19-year-old and his passenger were also seriously injured in the accident and had to be taken to clinic. The police have started investigating the exact cause of the accident, reports Merkur.
Traffic jams and traffic disruptions
Traffic on the A99 was significantly affected by this serious accident. The motorway had to be completely closed in the direction of Salzburg, which not only led to a dramatic backlog, but also to great frustration among drivers. By some estimates, queues stretched for miles and lasted up to 10 hours until the highway was reopened around 4:45 p.m. This traffic jam brought the entire transport network in the region to a standstill, as BR reports.
In the meantime, the accident remains under investigation. It remains to be seen what specific causes led to this tragic incident and what consequences this will have for the drivers affected, but also for traffic safety on Germany's highways. Tragic accidents like this raise questions about safety and responsible use of the roads.
The context of rising electricity prices is linked to infrastructure issues
Overall, both road safety and the impact of large consumers on infrastructure need to be addressed. The tragic events on the A99 and the challenges posed by data centers are part of a larger puzzle that illuminates the interplay between security, infrastructure and technological progress.
