Accident in tunnel causes morning chaos on A99 - Major Munich crash blocks A99 tunnel and snarls morning traffic

A crash involving two cars and a truck on the A99 motorway caused major delays in northwest Munich on Monday morning. The incident in the Allach district led to severe congestion and temporary closures along one of the city's busiest routes. Two people suffered minor injuries in the collision.

The accident took place in the tunnel, where all three lanes were initially blocked by the damaged vehicles. Emergency services attended the scene, and two lanes were later reopened, though one remained closed for recovery work.

The tunnel has since fully reopened, and traffic flow has gradually returned to normal. The two injured individuals received medical attention for their minor wounds. Investigations into the cause of the crash are likely to follow.
