The frosty, cold winter weather also brings dangers with it. The German Weather Service warns of black ice in parts of Baden-Württemberg. Traffic delays are to be expected.
Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) – Freezing rain in the south, snow in the north: the weather on Wednesday poses dangers for many people. The German weather service warned in an official severe weather warning of black ice in parts of Baden-Württemberg. “The precipitation is so heavy that the ice sheet is growing so that icy conditions are to be expected,” said a DWD meteorologist. A severe weather warning will be issued later in the morning.
Large parts of southern Baden to Upper Swabia and possibly also the Swabian Alb will be affected. “Freezing rain would be less dangerous than freezing rain. This immediately forms a smooth surface on the roads,” said the meteorologist. Significant traffic delays are expected. In the northern half of Baden-Württemberg, the first snow was already falling from the west.
Meanwhile, slippery morning roads in southern Baden have led to several accidents. One driver was slightly injured, police said. In Gaggenau (Rastatt district), a driver drove his vehicle into a wall and was slightly injured. The Freiburg police also reported several accidents: Among other things, one car slipped into a crash barrier, two others drove into a wall. A driver also went off the road with the vehicle and stopped in the ditch. However, nobody was injured in the accidents.
