traffic accident on the BAB 3: Effects on the region

A traffic accident on Autobahn 3 in the direction of Cologne is currently employed by the Koblenz police department and has a significant impact on the traffic flow in the region. On Wednesday, August 14, 2024, around 8:14 p.m., the incident occurred at the level of the operating kilometer 74.5.

The course of the accident

The accident occurred between a car and a van. Fortunately, only one person was slightly injured. However, the two vehicles involved were so badly damaged that they were no longer suitable for driving and had to be towed.

rescue measures and traffic restrictions

To securely remove the operating materials that emerge from the vehicles, the local fire brigades and the motorway master's shop were also used. These measures showed how important the cooperation of different emergency services is to restore security on the streets as quickly as possible.

traffic disruptions and backlog

The highway initially had to be completely blocked, which led to considerable traffic impairments and a long backlog. After the initial full closure, the traffic could be diverted via the hard shoulder. This helped to defuse the situation quickly, but was an unpleasant experience for many drivers.
