Chaos on the A94: Three accidents after thunderstorms and aquaplaning!

Chaos on the A94: Three accidents after thunderstorms and aquaplaning!

On Friday evening, July 11, 2025, there was a dramatic incident on the A94 in the Mühldorf area, between Ampfing and Töging. The weather conditions were anything but optimal - violent thunderstorms with hail and heavy rain ensured a rain wet road that put several drivers at risk. Copy within a short period of time, three traffic accidents occurred between 7:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. [Innsalzach24] (https://www.innsalzach24.de/innsalzach/region-muehldorf/erharting-ort48527/erharting-muehlelldorf-drei-un-a--a94- in-kurzer-gebai-ge93830791.html).

The accidents occurred on the slippery slopes due to non -adapted speed. A first driver lost control of his vehicle and came off the road, threaded into the meadow. A second accident occurred when another vehicle skidded and crashed into the middle strange before it came to a standstill on the side strip. The most dramatic incident, however, was the third accident: here a vehicle overturned after breaking a wild fence and landed on the roof in a field. Fortunately, the extent of the injuries remained relatively low, one person suffered slight injuries.

traffic chaos and backlog

The effects of storms and accidents quickly became noticeable. The A94 in the direction of Munich had to be completely blocked for about 30 minutes, which resulted in a backlog of around four kilometers. Road users had to be patient, while the fire brigades from Töging and Mühldorf as well as the highway master's shop secured the accident sites and released the road again, which slowly dissolved the backlog. According to [pnp] (https://www.pnp.de/lokales/landkreis-altoetting/chaos-auf-a-a--a-Urwetter- Urca-Aquaplaning-and-Drei-unfaelle-19051055), it was not only difficult to drive, but also caused a chaos on the streets.

good advice for drivers in such conditions are worth gold: adjust speed, especially in the rain, can decide on accident and integrity. The events of this Friday evening remind us of how important it is to take the road conditions into account and always put security in the first place. So stay careful, even if the asphalt is smoothed by the summer storms.
