False drivers on the A1: 20 kilometers in the wrong direction!

On Friday, April 1, 2025, there was a dangerous incident on Autobahn 1 in the district of Cloppenburg. A false driver steered in the wrong direction with a small car, more precisely, in the direction of Bremen/Hamburg. The route he covered was about 20 kilometers before the vehicle could be stopped. Numerous witnesses reported on the situation between the Cloppenburg and Wildeshausen-Nord junctions.

The false driver's ruthless driving style could have led to serious accidents. In various situations, road users had to prevent collisions through emergency braking and alternative maneuvers. According to the police, it was thanks to chance that there was no serious accidents. The Ahlhorn police asked the witnesses of the incident to contact you to collect further information.
