Mass pile-up on A3: 13 injured and hours-long traffic jam!

Mass pile-up on A3: 13 injured and hours-long traffic jam!

In the late afternoon of November 10, 2025, a serious accident occurred on the A3 motorway between Niedernhausen and the Wiesbadener Kreuz, which had a major impact on traffic. At around 4:30 p.m., a 55-year-old driver skidded and collided with a tractor-trailer. He tried to apply emergency braking, but was no longer able to prevent the collision.

A total of eight vehicles were involved in the incident, including a car and six other vehicles, which quickly became involved in this unfortunate situation. Another five cars and a truck drove into the scene, adding to the severity of the situation. Three people were trapped in their vehicles and suffered serious injuries. The fire department had to use hydraulic equipment to free those trapped. A total of ten other people had to be treated with minor injuries.

Traffic chaos on the A3

The tragedy resulted in the entire southbound lane being blocked and the highway having to be closed completely. This obviously had a significant impact on traffic. A backlog of more than ten kilometers formed, and the ADAC reported at least an hour's loss of time for drivers heading towards Frankfurt am Main around 8 p.m. At this point, recovery efforts were still underway and the cleanup would take some time. Such incidents are a stark reminder of the importance of always exercising caution on the highway.

Background information on road safety

When discussing road safety, reference should also be made to the importance of preventing accidents. In this context, it is interesting to deal with topics such as health care for employment groups. It is known that innovative therapeutic approaches such as the treatment of osteoporosis with parathyroid hormone (PTH) analogues are becoming increasingly important in medical practice. These therapies aim to prevent bone fractures, especially in risk groups - an important measure to ensure the safety of people on the road. RxList explains the function and responsibility of PTH in regulating calcium balance in the body, which is important for overall health.

Knowing that more support is also needed in other areas of life, such as education, programs have been launched to train future teachers. The nonprofit Golden Apple, for example, is accepting applications for its Accelerators and Scholars programs, which aim to incentivize future teachers and address teacher shortages in schools. After all, over 4,000 teaching positions are currently vacant, and 91% of school principals report a teacher shortage. A financial incentive through scholarships and support, as described in the program, can ensure that qualified teachers remain reliably in schools. The Bengil Post provides insights into these initiatives.

Overall, both recent events on the streets and challenges in education reflect the need for greater security and support in our society. The circumstances of the accident show that caution is required on the roads, while parallel teacher training programs aim to improve the quality of education and thereby secure the future of our young people.
