Fatal truck accident on the A13: complete closure near Thiendorf until noon

Accident details and closure

According to police, the A13 carriageway towards Berlin is fully closed. Recovery work is ongoing, which is why the closure is expected to last until Friday noon. Drivers should expect significant traffic disruptions and are asked to avoid the area widely.

Police have launched an appeal for witnesses. Anyone who observed the accident is asked to report to a police station. Information could help clarify the exact circumstances under which the man entered the carriageway.

Second accident on the A14

Concurrently, another accident occurred on the A14 autobahn, further exacerbating the traffic situation in the region. Between Naunhof and Klinga in the direction of Dresden, a small van with a trailer overturned, leading to the closure of the A14 in this section as well.

According to the traffic control center, the traffic jam on the A14 extends to Kleinpösna. Travelers heading towards Dresden should therefore expect considerable delays. Authorities recommend following current traffic reports and postponing journeys if possible.

Appeal for witnesses and investigations

Overall, the traffic situation in Saxony and adjacent regions on Friday morning is tense. In addition to the A13 near Thiendorf and the A14 near Naunhof, the closures and necessary recovery work are causing widespread disruptions to the supra-regional road network.

The exact background of the accident on the A13 is the subject of ongoing investigations. At the time of reporting, no conclusive findings were available regarding the precise time of day or the reason why the 46-year-old entered the carriageway. Police announced that further information would be released as the investigation progresses.
