Brief Winter Visit in the North with Traffic Issues - Heavy snow paralyzes Northern Germany with crashes and closures
Heavy snowfall across Northern Germany caused widespread travel chaos on Sunday night and into Monday. Roads turned hazardous as ice and snow led to multiple crashes, while public transport faced delays and cancellations.
The problems began on Sunday evening when snow blanketed parts of the region. By early Monday, the A7 motorway near Großenaspe in Schleswig-Holstein saw several serious incidents. A car flipped over, and a truck skidded out of control, forcing authorities to close the road completely for an hour.
The sudden snowfall and icy conditions led to road closures, injuries, and transport delays. With temperatures climbing and rain forecast, authorities hoped for clearer conditions by the afternoon.
