Passau (dpa / lby) – The Autobahn 3 near Passau is expected to remain completely closed in the direction of Regensburg until late afternoon after a serious accident. The police are therefore expecting traffic jams on the A3 and the detour route on Saturday due to the return holiday traffic. In the early morning, according to the police, a trailer truck skidded due to slippery conditions, crashed into the left guardrail, crossed the roadway and then broke through the right guardrail. A car behind was unable to brake in time and crashed into the trailer. The truck and car driver suffered minor injuries. The articulated lorry, which was loaded with metal parts, suffered damage of an estimated 200,000 euros. The rescue is expected to take several hours.
